Missing Her Muse

This was a picture challenge ... its what I saw when I looked at the pic... just a small little rhyme :)

MISSING HER MUSE

Rejection in scarlet tones.... her dance partner has flown

her lover.. her friend.. her saving grace there's no room for air in this place

at the dance bar she now sobs as her muse has left her without a song

no rhythm no rhyme.. steps out of time.... she is left to face her own demise

as she wipes her tears through sadness and woe the dancer must always

go on with the show.

The poem and the painting fit perfectly, you managed to expand the emotions the artist painted and translate it into the rhythms of poetry. Great job... have you considered recording this as a spoken word and posting it on your profile? I think it would be the next layer to this "picture challenge"...it's one of those poems that fits the tongue and the mouth perfectly...as if written to be read aloud.

Thank you so much :) .. I havent considered recording.... although I have thought about it for some time now... just have to figure out how to do it :)

You could use garageband if you have a mac or whatever its PC version is if you have a PC.

Lovely painting...so as your poem...though it tells about the trouble of losing one's muse. But of course, the show must go on.
We all know that most writers experience that. So the best way is to stop for a while and then relax...

Nice read. :)

You've written it so well, lovely poetry to go along with a stunning painting. You've colored exactly how it feels when the muse has deserted the soul. Beautiful read. Well done, enjoyed this one.

Was my pleasure I loved both.

Wow - your poem conveys the image perfectly. I love the idea that it is not just a friend or lover, or even a partner, that she is longing for, but her muse. And life goes on... Great piece, Debbie!

Thank you so much Rita !! :)

Very cool Debbie. Your poem captures the painting so very well. I can feel her loneliness and pain through your words.
