Lost in a familiar but now unknown place
Trying hard to keep a smile on this face
Taking things just one step a day, a time.
Trying hard to write a few words of rhyme.

Oh muse, have you now forgotten my name
Is it too hard, is it me that you blame?
Will you please come help me just a bit
I’ll move over a little, I’ll let you sit.

You have taken me through it all so well.
Encouraging me then, making a heart swell.
You have taken my soul on a hard ride
You, muse...come out, don’t go and hide.

I need your help today, over all others
for feelings felt come and then smothers.
I need just a push from your trusty quill
Come now Muse, you must, we can, I will.

Dear Poet, sounds to me like your muse has returned....probably just been napping. I know this feeling all to well as my muse seems to have a sleeping disorder. Very much enjoyed. Chris

HAHAHA Barry, even when you need a little push from muse, you are still writing and rhyming. LOL ...."Come now Muse, you must, we can, I will." Love this line, I have been there and was last week. I hate it......I liked this poem a lot..floria

I see she is sending you the message of frustration...

But, from this one can see she is still there!!!

LOL@Marge's reply! You are doing just fine for a man who has a missing muse Barry! Just take your time...I thought I saw her peeking over you shoulder.

I think your muse is active enough, and if ever it goes missing, I bet you have plenty of stored up cuddle time from all those romantic poems to your wife.

Down enchanted greening halls
the Muse, forlorn, plaintive, calls
Magnus! Magnus! come for me..."
and echoes ring so silently...

For busy is the man that penned
the walk of Muse; she calls, again,
Magnus, Magnus! Where art thee?
the echoes haunt so silently...

Seek thee thy Muse in soft twilight...
she shall see thee through the night...
