My dearest muse

~suffering from a writer's block~

My muse is sleeping,

oh wake up, dear sweet heart.

You have missed so much.

So much has happened. 

Your sleepy little blonde head

needs to rise and shine.

Now blink open your amber eyes,

startled by the sudden light,

catch the flaxen strands that

have escaped and tie them neatly.

Wake up, dearest fair friend, 

no prince is coming,

it's only me....

with a saucepan in hand!

Though tragic to the writer, you found a way to make me smile at the horror of a muse in silence. How I hope the feast in the saucepan brought more words than a poetic soul could dream of. Let the muse flow in the fragrance of every scent around you.

Thank you so much for your reviews!! I apologise that I have not been able to reply or reciprocate...

Ah, I am only grateful that you are still here, and hoping that your moonlit world is keeping you full of joy.

I enjoyed reading this! A very constructive way of dealing with writer's block :)
Simple, straight forward with lovely images springing into my head :)

A enjoyable read with a good ending. I liked the muse that needed milk. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I think I need to shout this one out to my own Muse, who has been quite lazy of late herself. You wrote your way into awakening admirably!

haha with a saucepan in hand!! are you going to smash it on the head to teach it a lesson? that's what saucepans are for, right?
I hope your technique worked. been there myself. nice poem, anyway.

[Zakari Schmidt]

Writers block gets the best of us, but I think this is a cool little poem. Enjoy the use or colors in your imagery, brings it to life

Such a nice and lovely way to call upon our dearest muse. I'm praying for it to visit me more often, too. Loved this writing quite much. Congrats!

Oh, the malevolent beast known as writer’s block, how many times have we battle, and slain the cunning creature, only to have it rise from the dead, like Romero’s Zombies, and attack with even more viciousness, ruthless in its approach. I’ve been there, join the club, we have jackets! I recently listen to an author (sorry, the name escapes me at the moment) but he uses a technique of reversal; think of a person’s career, or type and reverse what you know about them . . . e.g. a list of three, a mechanic, what does a mechanic do? Fixes cars, reverse it, what’s a mechanic that doesn’t work on cars do? A restaurant, what do restaurants do? They serve people? What if they didn’t serve people? A police officer, what do police officers do? Protect and server. What if said officer didn’t protect and serve. These are just examples. There’s also the title game, write titles, then think what goes with those titles; rearrange metaphors, or (and I’ve done this) write a letter to writer’s block, (or in your case, write a poem to it.

I hope this helps some

Hahaha, those are some creative tips! I usually write a poem to writer's block. I also have a rather peculiar, but handy little trick. My work is inspired by nature, people and food. I feel my poems and food are strangely linked. I generally watch some cooking show and try to rhyme various ingredients....... always get stuck at "orange" though... :))

[Jack Wolfe]

Cooking shows? Hmm . . . that is definitely a first, interesting, but I suppose it beats the British Author who hung himself upside down hours on end to generate ideas.

[Moonie]

Did that actually work?

[Jack Wolfe]

I don't know he claimed it did. Not sure of the author's name, I read it a long time ago in an interview . . . but there have been trails that claim the fluid rush of blood can create conscious illusions/dreams, thus, someone could recount those allusions and put them to paper. Give it a shot, let me know how it works . . .

[Author Rucha Joshi]

A nice rhapsody. with writer's block I highly relate to it. I amazing that even in a block you pen such a beautiful string of words!
Thumbs up!

[Moonie]

Oh, you are very kind, madam! :))
