Mona the Melancholy Muse

Thanks for the inspiration, Frieda!

Mona the Melancholy Muse

Her morale was as low as her shoes

When asked why her writes

Were as dark as the nights

She said, “All my pens have the blues.”

 

So I bought her a new pack of ink

In hopes that her mood would not sink

Now she spends all her time

Writing whimsical rhyme

And her quills are all quite in the pink!

Thank you, Ephraim! This was one of those days that my silliest Muse was active... :)

Great fun to read. If only we could solve our writing problems so easily. But not pink--green perhaps.

[Rita L. Sev]

Green would actually be my preference, to. Thanks, Rich!

[The Mutterer]

Love this, Rita! It is really quirky and made me chuckle to myself. I can never seem to do these well, its quite a skill.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Mutt! Limericks are a fun go-to form for me...

[Angel]

LOL, oh, I love this!!
I'm heading out today, to buy myself some colored pens...
Witty write, Rita!!!! LOL, I can actually say that! Once. Slowly. Sometimes....

[Rita L. Sev]

W/WR/R... LOL! Thanks, Angel!

[Marie]

I like the way you cheered Mona up, and the way you changed colours for her.

[Rita L. Sev]

Anything for my Muse... thanks, Marie!

[Lydia Shutter]

Well, you certainly knew just what to buy that melancholy lady, didn't you? How adorable this is! We have all gone through stages when our muses seem to be hiding. To coax her out in this way is ingenious! Lydi**

[Rita L. Sev]

:) Thank you, Lydi!

[annie lee]

This is light-hearted and lovely. The rhythm of the words and the occasional rhyme are just perfect. I am a sucker for lovely, lovely fonts. Your use of the fonts and the colors was a masterful gesture.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you so much, 2minichinz! The fonts and colors are fun to work with sometimes. :)

[Anand Sehgal]

Loved the Imagery. We find different ways to escape :) :)

[Rita L. Sev]

Yes, that's true! And sometimes it is something simple that will lift the spirit... Thank you, Anand!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yeah, i wish a different colored pen could get rid of all the melancholy poets feel and write about...

i am reading your poem and it is a steady hard rain outside...gloomy..

gee, is there karma working here or something?

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Karma is always with us... Yes, if only it were so simple... but it worked for Mona! :)
