Match to wick, spark to flame. Light by which to write ... words by which to give this ache a name. Pen on paper, tears on cheek. A prayer for clarity, relief from this pain is what I seek. The words wont come, must I beg for every line. This need so deep ... mere verse wont define. Without the rhyme ... I cease to exists. My muse again gone, her grace I need to enlist. Loss of poetic light, loss if inspiration. Loss of muse, loss of fascination. If I cant write, I cant breathe. Say a prayer for vision ... grant me poetic reprieve. Janet Marie (darn moody muse)  I think I could need - this in my life If you're gone - baby you need to come home there's a little bit of something me In everything in you MB20 |

Ohhh, I can relate. I think our muses must be sisters or something, 'cause mine's the same way. Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |

Sounds to me that your muse is still around just having a mood swing as you said. We can still enjoy your wit with ones like these and heres hoping that it cooperates with you the way you seek. Enjoyed this even if it is filled with frustration.  |

Hey Janet, Your muse seems to be dating my muse, and they are having a jolly good time... I say, let them have their time together... then they will be happy muses and come back with a smile of satisfaction... what says you?  I seem to managing ok with my temp, if you wish I could send him over to ya...  Well, with or without your errant muse, this one is quite effective... patience, my friend and things will be back to top gear soon... regards, sudhir [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 07-10-2000).] |

Hickory dickory dock two muse ran up the clock the clock struck one so you used the other one to write quite a nice poem about how you can't write. Peculiar how that goes is'nt it? "match to wick spark to flame. light by which to write words by which to give this ache a name." So lovely and poetic this description of writers block...... |

I used to have a muse, But I think now she's dead. The only rhyme I can think of Starts with "Roses are red!" Hey there JM... Your muse never left, she's just hiding under the bed! |

i read the title and i couldn't help but smile. i see she's still on vacation, but judging by this poem, it's good to see she dropped you a postcard. =) take heart kiddo. perhaps this quote will help. "if the wind no longer calls to you, perhaps it is time to see if you have changed your name." -Elegos A'kla We all got our demons. We all got somethin' to atone for. |

Janet Marie When the muses take hiatus because they really hate us I fool 'em all and simply sit by reading here in Passionate I do not whine [oh, perhaps I have] I do not cry [oh wound be salved] I do not whimper [it's my dog] What you think I lie? [my mind is bogged...] So while you wait and sit and ponder take a travel to here and yonder read and read and read some more, before long the Muses are at your door.

This is sweet Janet - I see your muse is letting you write, but alas, not what you want to write about. It will come -- it always comes back. Muses need a rest, too. Hugs, ~netswan |

JM, am I right in feeling you've had an emotional change lately? Seems to me like you feel the urge to explode into poetry, but no words seems to satisfy your heart so far! Frankly, I absolutley love your poem, and can feel your frustration as though it was mine. - Michelax |

Oh Jan big hug, I will find you your muse. I have even hired Uri Geller the spoon guy to help find your muse and we have got together with Steven Hawkins and the A-team who still haven't been payed form rescuing PDV from the teen forum. The bill is on the way PDV, no I.O.U's. SO hang in there... keep thinking of butterflies, they always inspire me.

JM, Want help searching for that muse?? Bet we can round her up between us all!! LOL. I know how you feel. It is an awful feeling when the words won't come. Hope she comes around soon my firend. LW Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity - it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almo |
