Yeah I'm just escaping my muse fog. It's good to know we all struggle with it from time to time and we're not alone. You did a great job and I think we can all relate :)

I love the rhyme you do in this poem it's really pretty. Even though it's only four lines you can tell it's a great poem. I also like how the first and third line have a word with an ing at the end it makes it read really nice.

    Thanks Megan for your lovely review. It seems getting this oldie out caused things to improve a little.

This poem, Missing My Muse, is a bright little piece to jog the old bean for some deeper material. The virus theme is relenting to race riots and news of the Space X rocket launch and landing.

    Thanks Bill and I think getting it out stirred some of the cockles as well. Appreciate your coming by.

Hi Geoff. To get more inspired to write, I suggest you join any or all of the Clubs in the Social menu. You don't have to do each challenge but it will give you some ideas and new forms to practice.

    I am interested in learning some of these obscure and whacky forms. But I am not just a poet and I wish we had more prose writers in FS. Thanks for coming by.

Thank you for reviving this post, since I missed it the first time and I think many of us can relate. I liked your addition of rhyme and am sure your muse will return from vacation soon. Cheers- Joan

    Yeah well I saw it needed some more points to get it over the "All Time Best" fence. Seems posting that again was a good idea I now have a new poem up for you all that has had some lovely reviews. Thanks again. I have another Ramble coming as well.

Hello Sankey
Ah, you have a problem with your muse
Do you suppose that your thoughts were caught by your muse for his own use?

Just you tell your sleepng muse, "I know of a better muse then you"

Muse fog! Most amusing! I hope it clears soon revealing the fertile fields of imagination that lie beneath. Good to hear from you again. I hope you and Louise are both keeping well.

Sometimes, when that "fog" comes and we fight it so hard, it just gets more stubborn, rendering us unable to write, Your poem is well-written and appealing, indicating a recovering muse. :-)

Good luck with that. I hope you wake her up because I've been missing you writing. This is cute poem to let us know that you muse is sleeping. You've written a story about your life. Write one about your wife's life. I love true stories. Besides you're a good poet.

Many seem to be struggling with their muse's lately here on FS, so you are in good company. Four years you've had this little gem, and I'm so by glad you shared it today, Geoff. Blessings to you both, and may your muse get motivated.
Sending my best today as always,
Sal xoxo
