Well done, great rhyme and rhythm. I saw no errors. I often feel my muse has left me too. Then it comes back from somewhere all of a sudden and I get ideas again. Maybe she out getting ideas for me. =} Hope you do well in the contest. Rox

Thanks. I like the idea that she's out looking for new ideas. Even if she comes back a little drunk. LOL

Your muse sounds mischievous the way she flits in and out, giving you the inspiration to write. Your poem rhymed, makes sense, and entertained me. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks. I think she likes to have a little fun with me in exchange for the poetry.

That is a good muse to have on your side. One of the things I love about my wife is she always lets me think I have won whatever my endeavor might be.

This is wonderful. Every writer's struggle. I love the way you capture a muse, it's personality. I believe it's all of these things, though I'm not sure I could have said it as nicely as you! Good job!

Thanks. Yes, the muse does her own thing on her own time.

Wonderfully true, I think we could all relate to these words, yes the muse comes and goes and if we don't catch (write) straight away she's gone, very well written with great artwork, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

Thanks. Yes, the muse can be a little unreliable. That seems to be a common theme.

I think that most muses lay inside the subconscious and come out in moments of genius. As I read your poem I get the same feelings as you penned in your poem.

Thanks. I think so too. But sometimes it seems like there's a supernatrual sprite.

In my opinion, a humorous write that extols the virtue of the writing flow when present and lack thereof, those times it is not - in perfect compliance with prompt. Best of luck in the contest...

Thanks. Yes, you have to get it written down when the 'muse' strikes.

You are very welcome, yes indeed.

Sometimes when putting pen to paper, nothing seems to come no matter how hard you try. Then, when you're asleep or not thinking about writing, inspiration comes. You've expressed beautifully the coming and going of inspiration. I enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done.

I enjoyed reading your poem, boy you were right on time.
Your words captured my attention from the first line to the last.
I wonder if your muse knows mine because he does the same to me
.Thank you for sharing

Thanks. I think this is just how muses are. I've been reading some of the other entries, and they seem unreliable as a species. They seem to enjoy having a little fun with us.

What can I say ?
Have a blessed evening or day.

This meets the contest requirements nicely as it exudes muse throughout. The rhyme is relatively solid. The meter is a bit spastic for rhymed verse - read aloud it is a bit crunchy when it should be smooth and chewy. Good luck in the voting and thank you for sharing it.

Thanks. I'll have to read it out loud again and find those 'crunchy' spots.
