WET EYES, DRY INKWELL
Hey poet!
Write one about peace
No, that’s much too elusive.
Okay then….one about war.
Are you kidding? How horrifying!
Can you do nature?
Yeah right...there’s too much of it.
Oh I know, love that’s a good one
Can you say, complicated?
Like?
Very disappointing…I just like you as a friend blah blah.
Erotic? Your readership will expand two-fold.
Fancy word for sex
And I don’t dwell on the past.
Well then I guess childhoods out.
What’s up man?
I’ve read your stuff…
you’ve written extensively about all these things.
I know, I know...I’m a bit lost
You see I’m between muses.

NaPo/GloPoWriMo poem #20. It seems one of my favorite DUP poets has disappeared.

Oh, I hate it when people vanish! Especially from here, where we get no context or explanation....
It is amazing that we poets ever find anything to write about..... hasn't it all been said already?? It probably has, but to hear it in different voices, that's the prize. I like yours; keep at it! If I had a muse, I'd surely share it, but alas.....

".... hasn't it all been said already?? It probably has, but to hear it in different voices, that's the prize."
That's true - every generation needs its own poets.

Thank you, Titanium! You are so right about the no context. I always fear they're in danger or sick. Unfortunately, I think many leave because they've been harrassed or offended.
I have deterred for many years from writing music for the very same reason you mentioned poetry. I agree that fresh voices are always needed for ever relevant subjects.

Oh no, I'm sorry for the loss! Hope its not one of mine too!!

Exactly why I wanted to expand. There's more to ones words!!

Yes there is! People do come and go n this site. The muse will probably return. I do have others. You've inspired some of my pieces as you know :)

I knew of one, yes. It saddens me to come across old poetry, finding them no longer here. Sigh..there are many!
