A Loss for Words

ha! i hear ya, mister... muse seems to be giving me the silent treatment too... treacherous bitch

Maybe we've got the same one.  Should we sack her?  

Wow this one is excellent! Countless shades of red ... Also love the flow of crisp words: Bereft, merc, lascivious, slant, arcane. "light my fuse" - perfect ending.

Thank you LilDragonFly!  I try to keep it flowing, maybe establish some rhythm.  Sometimes it works, sometimes is doesn't...

Mo Chara...this one hits hard for me, too.  

It seemed as though my number one muse had become over-worked, so i graciously offered her a short vacation---appears as though she has cashed in the round-trip ticket, and her last whereabouts remains unknown! The other two walked out on strike...protesting lack of equal benefits! (Guess it might be time to start posting on Craig"s List..or, in the Employment Opportunities section of Muse Monthly :/

So appreciated the sentiment in your scribe!

The Muse Union has become so well organized that their demands are usually met.  Thank you for the fine and funny comment DarkEnchantress!

Oh, my ...
I`m going to nominate this
for Sept`s comp!

Vivid imagery &  
the weave of words
give this piece
so much depth.

Sir Fly, so fly ... ~ Dev

Thank you Dev!  I'm honored!  Maybe this "Loss" will be a gain.  

My Lovely Sir Crow, I too was tormented with this bitch recently, she still lingers a bit, but I shall wait patiently for my muse to return full force...it's impossible for it not to, not when words are our release....excellent ink! I love you! With much love - Taryn xoxo

I suspect the loss is temporary.  My muse is probably down at the local bar, drowning my sorrows.  I'll give her another half hour...

You seem to have plenty of ideas here - fresh ones and otherwise - well done

It's the "otherwise" I probably need work on.  Thank you SweetOblivion!

I meant fresh as in sassy and did not mean for you to infer stale in otherwise - smiles

Hey Crow......BRAVO!! Reading I don't think she's too far away......brilliant ink.....purple luv & hugs xo :)

Thanks Flower.  She should be here any minute...

it comes quick & spectacular, like a firecracker;
you're lit...

Lit and a little tipsy.  Thanks John!
