Where Is She?

It's lonely without her LOL

　

 

I’ve searched the house in vain.

Completely wracked my brain.

Checked pockets and my shoes

But still can’t find my muse!

 

I fear that she has fled

And left an empty head.

My mind has too much room

Hushed quiet, like a tomb.

 

This wintry cold and snow

Are reasons she might go

Shirking every tether,

Seeking warmer weather.

 

Perhaps she found a lair,

Lies hibernating there,

Dreaming, until the Spring,

Of new songs she’ll then sing.

 

Is there some convention,

She forgot to mention?

Or did my wayward muse

Stow away on a cruise?

To be able to write your way out of a black hole is a feat in itself, and you have not only accomplished that, you have done it with panache. I've experienced the same thing myself, twice lately, and it's an uncomfortable and annoying feeling. You treat the subject with such humour that I'm sure your muse will return, if only bcause it doesn't want to be left out of the fun. Great stuff!

intriguing poem...good strong writing!

[Ellen Hammond]

Thank you, I had been going through a long period of not writing or at least starting poems but not finishing them. I've found laughter tends to be the best medicine for so much that I thought I would try using it and I actually finished this one. lol

Ah lol I really love this! Love the poem's rhythm which sounds like a song to me. :)

Very well done!

Oh to lose the muse is something we all go through

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Oh the run away muse, beware of it's return! Great read!

[Susie Q]

Thanks for sharing this, Ellen. I cetainly can identify. Believe me when she returns you won't get a minutes peace until she gets her way. Hope you are doing OK.

[Eric Cox]

Sometimes our muse just leaves us for a while but thankfully always returns. Nice pen on this.

[KAREN]

This is a beautiful write, I admire and become inspired by so many that i'm not sure if I have a muse. Very nice poem
