This is good and well thought out. We do need the writers that continue to amuse, challenge us, and who cause us to pause and think about things. The artwork is spot on and compliments your work well. Great job and well done!

This work has reached the exceptional level

I think this is an amazing short poem, the kind I don't seem to know how to write but so often admire. You have used elegant language to convey a universal truth in a way that is sure to grab the heart of any poet. I loved everything about this. The illustration is perfect too. Good luck in the contest. I think this one is sure to do well.

Ah, the loss of one's muse, even if only temporary, is sad indeed, and you have expressed it so poetically, I'm sure your muse is right there. (*smile*) Bet of luck in the contest!

I enjoyed these words and all writers hope not to be deserted by ideas and words to form their art and take away the barren lands and make them fertile again, I enjoyed the sentiments where, love Dolly x

Poetry certainly does fill a lot of missing pieces in life.
In an absolutely gorgeous display of illustration, font choice, and words of true inspiration and beauty.

I'm thinking this one might just win ... in fact, I'm almost sure of it. : )
Thanks for sharing! ~ Richard

When I read the contest rules I couldn't picture how it would work...now, look at you! You've shown me that this form can be lovely, even with a seemingly bottom heavy syllable count! Your image is lovely as well. Nice write!--Karenina

A very well-written 2-4-4-12 poem about our Muse that sometimes take an absence of leave and then we have no idea how to get out of the barren land without him around.

I speak only for myself, but this thing called a muse seems only a crutch to me. Writing is a craft, not something magical.
Did a muse paint the Sistine Chapel? Did a muse write The Highway Man? Did a muse sculpt The Kiss?

Sorry. I'm just weary of the muse.

Best of luck.

Peace, Lee

    Lol, yeah, there's nothing such as a muse. It's all just manipulating words. It's not even a craft rather than twisting the same words into different crap we've already read a million times over. I have no muse. I just like winning these contests once in a while and some people on here actually believe in such a thing. So I adhere to their false dreams and write what they want to hear. Today it was about a dying muse. Lol. Thank you for the great review, Lee.
