Whooping It Up

Allow me to share my news About my defiant missing muse She has the big time muse blues I should have seen the clues Though to discuss she did refuse I told her ‘to put on her big girl shoes’ Make a decision …. ‘you choose’ With attitude she said ‘ well, you lose’ Walked away with a look that left a bruise She is now whooping it up on a cruise Heading to the land of kangaroos Drinking way, way too much booze I hear she’s sporting two new tattoos Without her my poetry sits and stews My flame softly flickers yet no fire pursues So , understandably her behaviour I will excuse If she just comes back and lights my fuse!!

She may come back with some interesting Outback material. This poem was wonderful. It didn't need the muse.

A delightful humourous poem Deb that gave me a few chuckles. I feel that your 'boozy Mews, with the two tattoos, will get rid of her blues in the land down under after the cruise. If you see her ask her to pay me a visit in the 'land down under' and I'll help set her right for you - lol. Thanks for sharing. Maria

Great poem explores the theme of creative inspiration, personified as a "missing muse."

I always smile when people write great poetry about their missing muse. The irony :) At least you knew yours had gone on a cruise Deb. Had it been a few weeks back I would have asked you if you could ask your muse if mine was on the same boat. I guess she may have been, locked in her cabin without a thought of sending even a postcard. I'm rambling. Loved the monorhyme. :) Cheers - Gary

glad she allowed you to post this gem before she went awol, I spend less and less time on soup. I am busy editing next book am up to 270 with about another 100 to check and a few more to write down from my voice recorder lol but to be honest the issues on soup and the trolls do nothing to lure me back at the moment. hugs jan xx
