I understand. I haven't had this too often as I write something every day. I try to keep those juices flowing at all times. I keep a thoughts journal and many of my poems come from there. So glad to see this beautiful offering in short verse poetry. I'd say your muse has stirred.

Sending you my best today as always, dear Linda, and blessings in all things.
Sal xoxo's!

Muses often take a long hiatus but return with verve. Hopefully, yours will too! The picture is a perfect complement to the poem, which flows well and has a nice touch of originality with the subtle personification of papers! Creative. Excellent consonance of W. I recommend a dash after line two for pause effect (optional suggestion).

May your muse return refreshed!

Warmly,
rd

Hi Linda, I think that your Muse must be hanging out with mine up on some stars. Your poem is well written, and this is a poem that many can/will relate to. Of special note:

tragically missing words
(good sensory appeal)

Well chosen photo. Suggestion: try entering the six-word contest. That's the best that I've been able to do in a while. Lol, but true.
Well done. Xo. Margaret

My muse has also been missing. I wouldn't be surprised if those two ran off together. I have never been able to tell if my muse is male or female. Do you know the gender of your muse?

Yeah, I get this 5-7-5 totally. To think the muse goes on vacation without inviting one along. I enjoyed reading this relatable short piece. Nicely done. On a side note, the girl in picture might benefit from a desk to write on.. lol ;-)

It'll be back! Well actually it came back with this 5-7-5 verse which is so well complemented by the image. Very relatable sentiments neatly contained in so few words. Well Done! Debbie
