Comment from Bill Schott
This sonnet, Putting Life on Paper, has the proper formatting and describes the muse here as a channeler of daily facts into its poetic distillation.

Comment from Esther Brown
Very well said. How we put life on paper sets us free. Sometime it coerces, sometimes cajoles, but the feelings must squirm and be squeezed into readable form. Once accepted brings freedom. Hope you do well.

Comment from Dr. Nad
This is a very nice poem for the contest and I am going to vote for it. I think you've expressed what a lot of us would like to. It's life events that caused us to write and inspire us to inspire others to do better. Thanks for writing this.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
I enjoyed your well considered and expressed sonnet on the subject of putting your life down on paper. It's a very elusive quality, this muse, and it can keep you on the move but, once you find it, grab it with both hands and transfer it to paper fast. Nicely done! Good luck! Debbie

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
I can relate to your poem's theme. Life is a great muse. I always have something to write about, sometimes what I'm experiencing and others about whatever is going on around me.
Well done

Comment from John Cranford
This was a most beautiful description of your muse...and so appropriate. I think every writer can relate to each little muse that hovers around them, and sometimes deliberately wakes them from a deep sleep. That's what is so precious about them. Best wishes for the contest and thank you for sharing. Blessings to you.

Comment from SimianSavant
Not the flashiest of the contest entries and yet it has my vote for being the most true, most sober, and best constructed of the lot. Exactly. To be a great writer, one must be inspired by anything and everything all at once.
FYI there is an Adobe watermark on the left of your pic. I recommended cropping that off, and adding any citations to the notes instead.
Best regards,

Comment from Sally Law
I can relate to your midnight muse who drops in whenever. Mine has no manners at all, and she requires chocolate! Outrageous girl! She does help me though and has propelled me along to publishing and reminds me to enjoy what I do. She still needs to work on her timing though. LOL!
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best in the upcoming contest.

Hi
This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!
I'm very impressed with your meter and your writing. They're both flawless, which is hard to come by on this site
To me good meter and ride matters although I don't try to force that opinion on everybody else it's just my own personal preference
You write a good poem about your muse and what she means to you
I feel that my muse has been around for a long time recently. I've been very creative riding new poems and polishing off old ones
A writer can't ask for anything more so my music is doing a good job and it looks like yours is too. You wrote it beautiful poem here perfect meter entry. Also, I guess you can only do one contest at a time.
I wonder if a tragic event or a scary one makes one write about it
A lot of the poets on this side are wicked good. Wicked means very.
You are one of them
I enjoyed reading your poem
Good job. Thank you for sharing.
This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!
All of your lines are ten syllables except this one
Every is three syllables. You can abbreviate to.ev'ry
"I take the things that happen every day "
I enjoyed reading your poem
Good job. Thank you for sharing.
