Yep, it's absolutely 'just for you.'
You nailed it.
Everyone's best will never be everyone else's
favorite.
Your muse is yours alone.
Tricky little bugger, likes to disappear,
ha ha.
I need to go shopping too, ha ha.
Loved this, just delightful!
Blessings...

    Wow, thanks, my friend! My muse is mine alone as yours is yours alone and so on and so on...
    Yes, it likes to disappear sometimes and we all have our moments when we feel it will never come back again.
    Thank you for loving this one!
    I appreciate your kindness.
    Have a wonderful weekend!

This was very special, Jesse. Only a great writer, which you are would truly see that. You can call it anyway you would like but reality is the truth. You are a great writer, muse or not.

Love this meta poem about writing as the muse that ever-elusive creature that lives in all writers, and artists dictates. I like the last stanza the best

hopping for your muse in every store
Makes you pine for something even more
Now this game is through the final clue
Writing your very best is just for you

    Thank you, Jake, for this insightful review.
    I appreciate you choosing your favorite stanza. Yes, the muse is inside of all of us whether we call ourselves writers or not.
    I believe in the spirit of the muse!
    And I love your phrase, ever-elusive the muse surely is.
    Thanks for your kindness,
    Jesse

I love the idea of "waves inside start to roar" nice metaphor.

.assuage the .use....nice alliteration

I get "feeling crazy like a loon"

I enjoy writing too. I do it every day. It's the one thing I do for me. I take care of my grandson full time.

I wonder who is the muse :)

Extra Gypsy hugs

    Thank you, Gypsy, for your kind and thoughtful review.
    The muse is inside of me, it is inside of you and in all of us!
    I write in my journal every day but I do not post but every once in a while.
    Thanks for the Gypsy hugs!
    Enjoy your weekend!

    Yes, Roy, you seem to have a lot of posts at any given time. I would agree you have lots of writing inside you urging you to write, write, write. There is and will always be trouble in this land.
    Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate your steadfast conviction to write.
    Have a lovely weekend!

You did a great job, Jesse, with your rhymed poem. I enjoyed
reading it. The rhymes worked well, the smooth flow was
enjoyable, and your message was true. Not every genre is
for every writer. One must find what s/he comfortable with
writing and work to be the best in that category.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

    This is so true, Jan! I play around with genres and I am not sure which ones I like best!
    Feeling comfortable is something a little foreign to me, I am afraid.
    Being in a wheelchair most of the time gets old, real fast, and I have been riding in one for over two years now!
    Thanks for sharing and for letting me share as well.
    Thank you for your kindness.
    Have a wonderful weekend!

The author's words are interesting, exciting, awesome, descriptive and
creative. The author's rhyming scheme was great and added delight to
the read of these words. The poem flows and connects well. I really liked
the last line which speaks volumes!

Hi Jesse, Well done, well said. This is a poem that many will/can relate to.

Of special note:
Shopping for your muse in every store
Makes you pine for something even more

(Jesse, I've been looking for my muse far and wide and even atop of the moon and stars. I hope you find your muse. Mine is MIA,)

A fun poem. Good Rhyming. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

I like this poem because it applies to many writers on FanStory. I, for one, think I see a possible story in everything I look at, read, or hear. Most of the time, there is no story. I enjoyed the smooth flow and cadence of your rhymes, as well as the periodic humor. My favorite lines are, "Developing the knack to write is fine...Working on your skills can be a grind. Well done.

    Thank you, LJ, for this thoughtful review.
    I know what you mean...I see stories or poems in almost everything I do! But most of them don't pan out. I am happy you appreciate the humor in this. And thank you for choosing your favorite lines.
    Thanks for your kindness.
    Enjoy your weekend!

Muses can be very interesting. Mine likes to wake me in the middle of the night and won't leave me alone until I write down what it was thinking. LOL Thank you for sharing this poem. It flowed well and the rhyming scheme is very good.
