Question: Sometimes a missing muse is not always to blame, agreed!?
A Different kind of Writer's Block

fertile crest
within my mind lays
barren
a wasteland
vultures sent by
life's cruelties
prey and pick
bloodied talons
drip
they take flight
fully fed
my words
consumed
their feastWww@QuestionHome@Com

Sometimes, we may be the vultures!.!.!.!?

This one resonates, Sue!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What indeed is a muse!.!. but that which catches your attention!. What catches your attention other than that which is on your mind!.

Given those thoughts, would it not be logical to infer that a missing 'muse' is simply one with no mind!? *snicker*
So, I say there is no such thing as a missing muse, but there is such a thing as lack of inspiration!.
And yes, I have used the word but only as a catch phrase to avoid having to enter a long winded explanation of the above!.
Now!.!. inspiration does not have to be 'happy' does it!? You were inspired to write this fetching lament were you not!?
Write what you feel, if you can face it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I do decree
that I agree
a missing muse is not the culprit
rather a mind's standards are
too strict a mind
will leave you and your muse in a bind
break down the dam walls I say!
Let the water flow free into that barren landscape
Let it prosper and reshape
The key is to loosen up on your imagination
rather than blame everything on a muse who is on "vacation"!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hey, Sue you sound as if you are going over to the dark side!.!.please don't turn emo whatever you do!.

You have words enough
to let some rude-dude
scruffy ruffled-feathered
vultures have a few
Where those words came from
there is more, I am sure!.
You are prolific
Terrific,
Just the ticket,
Kick-***, ma!
Grant us a boon -
lassoo the moon
harness the sun
Refuse to lose
the muse, let
her bemuse and amuse
us once again
