I think a lot of us here can relate. We struggle with ideas and suddenly, out of no where a speck of an idea grows into a story or a poem.Loved your poem. Wonderful imagery and strong rhyme carry it along.
Thanks for sharing.
Now, I should get to work!

Comment from royowen
It's funny I endured a UTI last Friday, and went from having a fertile must operating to her being inactive, and I had to stir her up, (as if she's a she, when really it's a gift) uso I relate to your post, faith is an organic thing, an objective thing rather subjective, the substance of things hoped for. So, beautifully written Gretchen, blessings Roy

Comment from Ginda Simpson
I like your poetry muse too. And I also like the words of your poem, words that we all can relate too. Good for you setting them down to rhyme. Keep on writing.

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
This is a very well written poem, Gretchen, and it goes so well with the image. I could relate to the stories in your head. Everything seems to give me ideas. Creative, expressive people must continue to be as we are because the world needs creative solutions and communications of empathy.
Best wishes,
Alex

Hello Gretchen,
well done on your poem. I haven't had much time to write anything lately. I've gotten so far behind on the reviewing, that its a struggle to do both. I kind of need to be in the mood to write too, something that doesn't seem to plague you.
Have a blessed day gal.

I get writers block too. The last time was back in 2018 and it lasted until 2021. Didn't really write anything. I'm happy my muse returned. Gretchen

Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
'Haha, yay, I love t' his! And yay, I finally get to visit you! I took a chance I might find some poetry because I have a hard time reading chapters. And not only did I find poetry but I found some wonderful poetry. Gretchen this is delightful. What a fun poem this was to read. I have to come visit you more often. When your muse is done organizing your drawers, it can come and do mine too.
Thank you for this awesome read. I'm so glad I came to see you today. Cute! Love, Debi.

Thank you, Debi. Poetry usually doesn't come to me. But this past two weeks I've been visited by a poetic muse. She is welcome to stay. Thanks so much. Gretchen
Comment from bob cullen
Time for confession. I had no idea as to what this image represented. Then I asked the one who knows everything, the wife. She replied instantly, pencils. It was so obvious. The poem's message became obvious. Guess it proves her pet theory. Men really are useless creatures.

Comment from mermaids
Love your words because they are so true for writers. We have so much in our heads that needs to be written down. Excellent poem about writing that I am sure all of us here can relate to.

I'm liking your poetry muse myself. LOL I understand having all these stories bouncing around in your head. I have the one I'm not posting, one I'm writing, and one I'm researching. I really just want to write, but life gets in the way. GRRRR. Great job with this poem.

I feel your pain. My grandchildren have been visiting every weekend so I have to sneak my writing in when I can. Lol. You are a busy lady. Gretchen
