MUSE CRISIS
Does your muse refuse to enthuse?
Has she lost her magic?
I say to you my friend
Get you another
To ignore this advice would be tragic
You can check the want ads
Search on Craig’s List
Check all the blogs on line
But if you hear of a Nancy
From somewhere in Oregon
She’s already taken she’s mine
I’m usually generous with all of my stuff
If you contact my muse I might have to get rough
Oh she might inspire another
I think his name starts with an ‘R’
Except for him my friend
Not another will get very far.
She’s the one who fuels my poetry
She enables my thoughts to flow free
If my feelings and impressions remain locked inside
And I have no muse with whom to confide
My creative juices will evaporate
A dismal, dreary existence my fate
Go my friend and find a new muse
One who brings you the right words to use
As for my butterfly to me who was flown
The one who’s called Nancy
You leave her alone
Has she lost her magic?
I say to you my friend
Get you another

She was a good friend that got me writing again. You know I've been enthused many times by your magic. I admire you very much and I have missed you equally. I hope life has been treating you kindly. Thank you for your encouragement.

Thank you! I am glad you see the fun and hopefully the humor. Thank you....you've made me happy.

A delightful read, Gahdess. It's six years old but precocious. I love the playfulness here, and Nancy helped bring out your best, I would guess. Your current Muse is equally attentive, if not more so. She has polished you to brilliance.

Thank you Sir Crow! Yes Nancy is a special friend and an awesome, accomplished artist. My current muse is someone who keeps me centered and firmly planted in reality. Cheers!

Sigh. I need a Nancy! Alas, I seem to be muse-less these days..... I think my muse became a ghost.
This is a nice fun write, made me chuckle even while feeling a bit wistful!

Thank you BT! I had fun writing this one. Nancy inspired me to write again. She's a good friend and very talented painter.
