Hi, Miss Nanners. I hope I'm not too late to join the class this month. Would you believe I actually got inspired?! It's all Balladeer's fault! So...here's my first attempt.  ________________________ ~*In Silent Weep*~ A muse is dead and buried deep No ink will flow in verse this day A poet sits in silent weep The sun is lost in shadow's keep The sky once blue now hints of gray A muse is dead and buried deep Harsh winds of loss through windows seep Dishevelled heart fills with dismay A poet sits in silent weep The tiny frog has lost his leap The birds are hushed and fly away A muse is dead and buried deep With inspiration fast asleep Poetic verse has gone astray A poet sits in silent weep 'Tis life we sow but death we reap Sweet flowers wilt to dead bouquet A muse is dead and buried deep A poet sits in silent weep ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet. ~vlraynes |

Vicky this is really good. I think it veils the repetition exceptionally well. Good job, Pete |

Viraynes, This one rolls right off the tongue. Everything seems to fit together effortlessly. Well done. Doc |

vlraynes-- This is an excellent description of the frustration of not being able to write. It flows so smoothly. I'm glad that you were inspired. Shenachie [This message has been edited by Bridget Shenachie (04-13-2002 11:48 PM).] |

Thanks, everyone. Sometimes my muse just needs something challenging in order to become inspired. Glad you enjoyed this. Hugs, ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, |

GEEZ!! I HOPE I inspired something as wonderful as this! This is great, Vicky! The tiny frog has lost his leap Sweet flowers wilt to dead bouquet Dishevelled heart fills with dismay you have a wealth of excellent lines here and the rythym is perfect. NiceNiceNiceNice work!!  |

Late?.. Late, you say?... I was LATE.. You were quite timely, I'd say.. And your muse? That's not late either. This is absolutely great - What Deer said - Yeah - That's it..  |
