My muse has up and left me,
She's left me all alone.
She took my pen with her,
Now I can't right a pome.

I cannot even spel write,
I don't noe what to due,
She nose all the big werds,
So here I sit and stew.

Why'd she up and leeve me?
I rote what I waz toled,
From little angel storeez,
To knites in daze of olde.

Oh, my goodness gracious!
I think I'm gonna crie!
'Cause when I can't right poetry,
My insides begin to dye.

My muse has up and left me,
She's left me all alone.
She took my pen with her,
Now I can't right a pome.

Oooooh - I had this problem yesterday!  I can't say how many pieces of paper were crumpled and thrown into the round recepticle.  As for spelling, never could do that, but it is sooooo frustrating when the words won't come out right!   Then, last night, poof!  And it was as if I experienced a great flood of relief.

This was such a fun read and so, so true.  Bless you little angel, with words and ink in abundance.

Hugs -- Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Linda Lou, this is true writing. It's
hard when the words won't seem to come.

Sometimes it helps to write about a missing muse...it has helped me in the past...kind of takes you past the loss into the laughter.   That's a good thing.  Loved this!!!

Well, you certainly returned the gift of laughter with your comedic write "Holding Earth Angel's Muse Captive"!!! I just read your hysterically humorous poem. What a pleasant surprise it was when I read that title! Thank you so very much! A total delight and has been saved to my special keepsake file!

Barry, I just found out when my muse is! You won't believe it! Marge is holding her captive in her inkwell down in Florida!!!!!!
Her own muse is admired and revered all around the world. Why on Earth would she kidnap a lesser fairy muse like mine! I'm not amused! ~ Ooops! I lied! I am amused but please don't ever tell my muse that!

(big angel hugs) Awwwwwww, there there, she hasn't left you! She just needs a vacation as everyone deserves one, but don't worry, she assigned a substitute for you, she's just getting used to how your heart and mind operate! (kiss on cheek) Yay, that substitute better not be sleeping on the job, cause if she is...! (giggles) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Sweet Sue ~

She probably left for a bit because you have been so busy and she no longer felt needed.
Let her know how much you miss her and need her by writing a little poem of love to her!

I have been missing both of you! Tell her EA says "Hi" and sends her a hug! ~ and keep one for yourself!

Yea, she needs to "come out of the closet" for sure Sunshine....and read her email...this is a great write about something all you "real" poets have faced before....ya see, if you're like me...it doesn't matter...nobody can tell if I've lost my muse or not....it's always just the same kind of BS....

I wish that were true that she is just napping! But Ms. Tindal truly has been holding my muse captive down there in Florida! But I just read a tanka reply she wrote in her poem about holding my muse captive, and she is now preparing my muse to return to me up here in Ontario. I eagerly await my missing muse! Then I will hopefully be able to get back to co-writing some poetry with her again!

Warm hug and a big smilie face,

Good morning, Sir Laughalot! I was away all day yesterday and didn't read your email until 1 AM this morning. Your poem about missing muses more than amuses! It was downright brilliant and fantastically hysterical! You should post it ~ mind you, a few edits would be in order to get past PiP's censors!!! lol

Rib-ticklin' huggums,
