Oh little muse! Come out to play... It's been ever so long you've been away! I'm lost when you're gone Can't think of a thing My flight is erratic, as a moth with one wing Trying to find a candle flame to heat the tip of my pen and bring the ink into view upon my page again Don't be so recalcitrant Oh you're just so much like me! Running off to be by yourself Stubborn as can be! I've made you some nice hot tea, with a lovely sunshine salad Now do be sweet and come out Sing me a little ballad I've tired of the hide and seek its been too long a game Without you, oh my little muse Things just aren't the same  ------------------ "Tread softly, for I have spread my dreams under your feet"~~William Butler Yeats |

Excellent writing here and I understand totally I feel like I've lost an important part of me while the ink drips but nothing forms. |

Very a-muse-ing, Caroline. That muse can be fickle, indeed, but always returns....and yours is a good one, indeed. |

Thank you kindly, LD and Balladeer. I hope the little brat returns soon! LOL... probably lost out there somewhere with my mind  ------------------ "Tread softly, for I have spread my dreams under your feet"~~William Butler Yeats |

Very nice... ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |
