It would seem that I had this inclination to write a sort of poetic declaration. I asked my muse to vist, if she was so inclined but she so chose to graciously decline. With my thoughts then away she ran; but I can still write...I think I can.... My muse was determined that I wouldn't write, Ah! She knows me better, I just had to fight! Through the words I painfully muddled she laughed at me, but onward I struggled. I reached through my heart, straight into my soul {you see, she thought she had taken complete control!} Each time she'd steal a thought and try to run away another new word eased through to come into play. She was tough, there was surely no doubt, but she needed to learn what I was all about! We battled ferociously throughout at times while she tried to steal my well thought out rhymes! NO, I would not give up, nor would I give in. This time wasn't hers, I was going to win.... So I now present this as my final assertation~ I've still written my poetic declaration!! It's better than I could have planned.. it's made me who I am... {Trace Adkins} |

Smiling at you - my words too have been stolen as I think to write a poem and nothing inspires me - I guess I shall just have to stand up and take control - thanks for the inspiration  Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Like you Donna, I've been at war with my muse, but I think I might just be breaking out of the blues. (thank gawd, 'bout time) Life is hard, but it's all we've got, eh? Anyway, I enjoyed reading you, I always do. Hugs gentle one~ |

i know many of us can relate and somehow do come out of the funk of a lacking inspiration for a bit of time. |
