Missing Verse - Oh, Curse
~*Marge Tindal*~

Can't imagine where I left it
or where it got off to
I only know it's slipped away
and left me feeling blue !

I've turned my mind-mattress upside down
looking for a well-marked trail
Darned little muse flew out the window
and took my verse as well !

Someday I hope to find it
and share it as the missing verse
But you have my permission to use it
if you should find it first !

Impale it with your quill
Give it voice to sing
For though it passed me by this time
inked joy to you it will bring !

Keep your eyes peeled for a tiny muse
that comes and goes with ease
If you should happen to snare it
Share it ... please - Oh, please !

Oh, curse - could be worse -
But not by much - and as such
Enough said - back to bed !


*Such a merry little chase !

~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~

i FOUND your verse
and what is worse
i'm stealing it from you!!
I'll write it down,
the verse i found,
and post it as brand new!!
I'll call it MINE
and then combine
some other words, you'll see!
and then i'll name it MY VERSE
and i'll call it POETRY!

hehe

JLR~
Good to leave a smile where I've been.

Martie~
LOL !
Just a tease - to please a friend !

Doreen~
Alright ! !

If it slipped past me
it was surely meant to be
a splash of think
in someone else's ink !

Go for it gal !

Delightful play with your muse at bay,
although I think it may be your view
For it seems to me, by what I see
that your muse's not left you!

Now, me, I have the curse of the verse...
which does not tend to mean
that the muse is with me day in day out
but may just be a dream.

Hey, Marge, your words aren't missing!
You told me from the start
That I could take all things you write
And keep them in my heart.

So here they are, all safe and sound
and, when they speak, I let 'em
So if you want them back again
Well, sweetheart, come and get 'em!!!

Mysteria~
I thank you for enjoying this playful little impish muse.
She has a will of her own.

Balladeer~
Awwwwwwwwww !
I can't think of a bigger heart
for them to land in for safe keeping.
Not that far, ya' know .... Vrrrrrroooommm !

I hope your muse does not become an elusive little bugger like mine, Marge! Very cute poem!

Margie o' my heart, this was a cute and of course, a well-penned poem from you! Your muse could never fade, it's magic!  Can I borrow it for a while, I'd pen some real gems then, seems to me that I need to get away from the "darker" poetry and write some uplifting lil' exuberant verse like you  

Take care,
Melissa~

You mean you're missing ONLY a verse??? LOL. Our muses must be playing games together... mine will only give me A verse (or one verse each for 20 poems... and people wonder why I'm a packrat!) LOL

Whatcha mean I'M supposed to put some effort into it? LOL. Nahhhhhhhhh... my muse knows I'm lazy... if she wants any attention, she'd better be back with friends for those unfinished verses! LOL

Enjoyed this much, Marge. *S*

Denise~
LOL !
Mine have knapsacks ... and one gets away I moan !
How ungrateful is that ?

Melissa~
Ahhh !
I happen to have a muse lease-lend program~
Be careful what you ask for ...
I'm dispatching Poppie (my muse of laughter)
and Sliter, Twiter and Tambra (my kitchen cabinet muses)
With these four you will get no sleep ...
so be prepared.
Just keep them warm and happy ...
and according to Vicky they LOVE Raspberry Hot Chocolate ! !

SuthernGal~
Yep !
Just a verse that escaped ...
but ... but ... it COULD have been the masterpiece ...
Now I'll never know ... unless it flitted to your inkwell ...
LOL !
