not very a-muse-ing

why must you pester me?
running your fingers through my hair
and whispering in my ears
any and all times I am without pen and paper:
closing eyes to sleep,
in the car or in the shower

are these best and brightest ideas a secret shared
just between the two of us?
the reason you draw back and let me
fly solo
every time I set myself before the screen,
any time I say "this looks interesting"
and click on a contest

such as now, you vain thing
not even letting me write about you,
sure I can't do you justice

 

 well. . .

 

 

 

you're right.





(a little help
would be nice)

Author notes

This is my constant battle with my muse. I swear she only appears when I'm in the shower and can't write things down! I've even considered getting a diving pad with a grease pencil hooked up in the shower for just such occasions! Also the reason I keep a notebook by my bed.

    I love what you said about clicking on a contest that looks interesting and then off she goes with nothing to left to inspire you. Done that.
