Calliope Has Left Me

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once gifted with a talented mind,

I now find the emptiness disconcerting.

Words that once flowed from my mind and out of my hands,

Now remain blank and tap with a restless burning.

An infinite imagination and a persistent mind,

Made it unconceivable for me not to write.

Alas, my hands remain idle and bored,

Waiting for an unknown task.

My well has dried up,

Creativity gone.

Life's ambition on hiatus,

My mind's at a yawn.

My muse has left me,

On butterfly wings.

Fluttered from my grasp

And off to better things.

So until it returns I've nothing to do but wait.

Wait for my dear muse to come and stimulate.

 

Author's Note

I had 3 poems in mind that I really WANTED to write, had the idea for it and everything, but, of course, now the words won't come to me =/

Author's note: lol, no worries, I got those kinda FML moments too, but no worries, I'm pretty sure it'll all come back to you. I get pretty pissed when I come up with a hook or a good catch phrase to write a poem on and it suddenly disappears, but it usually comes back in another way sometimes a little bit better, that's how I wrote my Tangled Ballad poem, which in my preference is probably my best structured poetry work.

To help with writer's block, usually I write down topics. hell most of my poetry is like the game show Jeopardy if you think about it. so if you come across something you really wanna write about, write down the basic element or what the poem is centered on, that's my best advice. a good reference is the "end of now" poem I wrote recently which is just based on the topic "horror and gore" and trying to make the reader squeamish.

As for the poem here:
It's definitely awesome, a thumbs up piece of work. the flow has a sense of wavering and good work for something that doesn't dwell entirely on end rhyme. I could message you some points of interest if you wish... but as it is it's still some great work. Do enjoy alot of the stuff you write, definitely got a talented and gifted mind... hell, you even write about when you don't have things to write about :p now that's inspiring.

My muse has left me,

She's there
She's just napping
Cute poem

As far as I know, the muses serve a purpose for all mankind. Sometimes it is to create an opportunity for us to grow elsewhere. Your poem shows a substitution in other areas.
