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.

[Moonie]

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

[An owl on the moon]

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

[Bright Ocean Star]

I love the last line. Are you threatening to knock her upside the head if she doesn't wake up on her own?
Very nice!

[Moonie]

Yep, that was the idea. To whack her awake!! :))

[Bright Ocean Star]

LOL!!! :)

The sauce pan part made me giggle I needed

These were my favorite stanza's lines.

Rhyming another word with another helps
with writers block and God is in control of my writing
as Creativity and beauty comes from him much sleep
drinking plenty of water and eating when our body needs it
stress worry and that causes there to be a fog in our mind
and I don't push myself take a break now in then if you don't I do that
it helps go on a Autumn walk Enjoy Gods creations :) don't hear the Owl as
much but really early in the morning we used to hear this beautiful owl out
side our bedroom window and he'd set on the tree branch and hoot was lovely
we see hawks and so much beauty over here.





I do hope your Writers block goes away I did
a poem on writers block funny that you say this it was called Writers block doesn't
Plague me but writers block is no fun.



Thank you for sharing and for your kind
review and comments you left on my page.


Have a blessed weekend. Benita

[Moonie]

Thank you, dear Benita. Hugs! :))

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

you're welcome. :)

now this made me giggle.. took the sweet, soft, gentle coaxing voice that flowed exquisitely down the page and then WHAM! over the head with a saucepan.... haha!.. that is one way to do it, and sure sounds like how I would to!... love it... witty, creative humor.. nope... no blockage there!...

[Moonie]

Yeah, that is one of the ways......probably the quickest one too. :)
Thanks for the review, dear April! :))

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Thank goodness for the saucepan! a delicate piece that can plague us all, well done.

[Moonie]

Ha, tell me about it! :)) Only saucepans can break open the muse's slumber!! :))

[writing mojo]

Such a strike blow to end a dreamy sequence of waking events. I'm a weirdo so, just take what i say with a brain grain of salt..but i think different font size going from small to larger would give the piece more of visual effect..if the sauce pan is for gonking someone over the head..another than that i love this!! It's very unique. .

[Moonie]

Ah, thank you. Sadly, I ve never played with fonts before. That idea just might work. I would try it on this piece! :))

[Christopher Robin]

Nice, but lacking the usual cadence of your other pieces, felt a little forced to the end of some of the lines, great concept, only a fair execution. This could be revised to brilliance. Write about your writers block, you'll write enough that suddenly you wont be facing a block and the problem will have cleared!

[Moonie]

I understand! I usually write through a writer's block, but that writing is not as good as what comes naturally.

[Matching Socks]

Lol. Been there darling, :)
It will pass.

[Moonie]

Ha, I hope to God it passes!

[Jennie Baron]

Oh, haven't I been through the very same thing! This is beautifully worded but it's amusing as well. Great work, Moon!

[Moonie]

Bit your take on it in "Platinum skies " is much better than mine , ma'am! :))

[Moonie]

I meant "but" :))

[Sami Khalil]

"your amber eyes,

This was very good. No worries. Let things come naturally and that is the best ones. Excellent...:)...................

[Moonie]

What comes naturally is always the best! Thanks for reviewing! :))

[Sami Khalil]

Yep. You are welcome...:)......................
