When Muses Die

We buried a muse the other day

For a poet laid down his quill

He said he'd never write again

For he simply refused to feel

Muses came from miles around

To tell their friend goodbye

Inspiration was everywhere

You should have heard them cry

They buried her in a special place

Up on Inspiration Hill

Paper flowers covered her grave

Her tombstone, the poet's quill

No one knows where muses go

When poets refuse to write

Maybe they simply disappear

Or maybe follow the light

The next time you get your writer's block

And you're feeling empty inside

Your inspiration has gone to a funeral

For another muse has died

"Muses came from miles around

this is my favorite part because i always thought about the "muse" as individual so the is a great perspective!

I love this new personification and eccentric-ness of this piece. Your imagination is quite something. Keep writing. :)

Wow that looks like you've just written a new myth ! Great imagination, very original and enjoyable. I really loved reading it. Keep writing these kind of poems, they're beautiful ! Just a little correction: Muses were actually always females, they were the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne (the goddesses of memory).
Great job, definitely going to my favourites ... and get ready for my friend request ;)
