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!!

Even when the muse doesn't amuse...
a repost is always apropos!

Well, I do so declare
that little vixen, an eyelash didn't bat
She didn't know she was battling wits with a pro
You showed her where it's at !!

A DELIGHTFUL penning~

Ah, the Lady doth protest poetically well!

It's good to know that whenever our muse abandons us, we can still manage to fight through our mental cobwebs and come up with something rather decent all on our own! ~ But please don't tell my muse that I said so! lol

I think the muse will reward you for this poetic declaration.
You "played" your words so well.
Love, Margherita

Cute write, reminded me of when I struggle
with a well educated mind and a passionate heart. Sometimes they never agree. As far as my muse.......we play hide and seek!
