I think I lost my muse today,
We got into a fight.
She had a hair across her ass
And wouldn't let me write.
Maybe there's some things I've said
To a muse, you shouldn't say.
I must have insulted my darling muse
And now she's making me pay.
That girl knew how to get me good,
She packed my creativity
Hid from me my inspiration
And pawned my originality.
She took all of her things
Walked out and left me here
And now, just hours later,
My helplessness is clear.
I have so much I want to say
But I can't write poetry.
I'm still in shock; I can't believe
My muse walked out on me.
And with her went all of the pleasures
My beautiful muse did bring.
Pen in hand, without her here,
I cannot write a thing.
Author notes
First complete piece I've written in forever...this is definitely a silly poem, I was thinking about how I've been having trouble writing lately and this just sort of happened by accident.

I agree, I think in line 12, me should be my. This definitely gave me a bit of a chuckle, those damn muses always running off with your inspiration! I loved the part about having a hair across her ass lol. However, you failed to follow #3 and submit an original so I'm afraid I must disqualify this entry. Sorry.

He he, I love it, this is good, I havent read anything like this yet ... I think, anyway, love it mum, keep it up, really, your a great poet and mum!
Love,

sometimes when we write it's when try too hard that our muse
seems to abandon us.
if nothing else... write down pieces of different things..
if nothing comes of it.
put them down for another day...
It'll come to ya eventually.

hehe. Great job! I love it. My muse is always mad at me...*looks sullen* Well anyhow, great job! I hope to read more of your poetry!
-
haha, it made me think of writer's block, for sure. I never thought of blaming it all on a muse...hmm good idea for the next time I can't think of a thing to write. I'll just say it was my muse's fault.

-
WOW!!!!! i mean WOW!!!! great poem
-
Damn is all I could really say about it.
-
Very funny look on about writer's block and losing your inspiration to write...I would say your block is over very soon when you write this kind of hilarious stuff...
-
I love this. This was amusing even though I know it's not funny when you are feeling locked up, locked out and like you have nowhere to go. I must say though, I think she left at least some creativity behind because this was really great. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you for sharing it.
-
wow, i agree with inu's comment up near the top, this is extreamely orginal, you expressed your emotions so well in this piece, and the flow of this piece was extreamely good, also your choice of words was very good as well, over all, this was an extreamly great write, great job
-
lol, this was cute. Keep it going
-
My muse must be pretty pissed at me... Has been for a while now...
-
Entertaining.. Great Write!
-
I know how this is... it's like your muse has deserted you... but really, the muse you normally use is taken over by a muse of a different kind... be it of writing poems, to writing stories, to music... it changes at times... I hope your muse returns to you soon
-
That's pretty good, it's actually kind of funny if you think about it. Really entertaining write, keep writing.
-
now this was creative ... lol a muse that doesn't exist that actually helped ? wild , wonderful and quirky , your writer's block seems to be gone my friend lol and how funny it is , and weird that we found it funny ? ah what a world we live in .. be safe with your invisible friend that is nowhere to be found , catressa
-
Excellent!
This is really very good! It has a nice little bounce to it! Good rhyming! The theme is terrific too! -
Awsome.
Nice..really sad..a great write! -
I hope you get unblocked, soon, too
I swear, I've tried everything save Draino clog remover Thanks so much, your oppinions are much appreciated.
Love, Proxy -
Well for an accident this is realy good I mean realy.I love who you wrote this I have had writers block for sometime now my self hope to be come unblocked soon (lol) any way good job keep it up.
-
that was sooo good! i love the concept it's very original, i havn't read anything like it i think... Your flow was great and you really did a great job with rhyming and everything...I think maybe she left, but you must've gotten a new one back who's just as good, cause this was great...Loved it, I hope you will start writing more soon, I've been missing it, and this was very very good... ~~Much respect and love, your boy, George Foxx~~
-
this is really good, even without a muse you are a great writer. i like your style. keep writing, you have a lot of potential.
~KK~ -
Great work! You must be an awesome writer to be able to write this without your muse and the valuable assets that she took with her. This is very clever and well writen. I'm tired and it still sounds great.
Well, if you get the chance, kiss and make up with your muse. I'm sure that you make a wonderful team. -
wow you wrote a poem about not being able to write a poem this is way awesome i dont think i could have done this but your choice of words expressed you very well i enjoyed reading it as i have many of your other poems keep up the good work and ill be reading more
-
This is very clever, and your rhyming is excellent. Glad I came to take a peek.

Good :)
The way you portray your muse as walking out is almost comedic in an odd way, I felt like laughing when I read your first four lines. I've never thought of this feeling in quite that way, although I've felt that way many times. The great thing is that muses usually come back... Oh, and don't think I'm weird for saying this, but I think your Muse must be pretty hot(if it's a girl). Haha, I can't believe I said that, I'm insane. Seriously! Anyway, good write, I liked it quite a lot! Nic
Edited on Jun 06 because ''. -
heh... opposite approach I took to a poem like this... man, now I really want to do a contest about it.
writing about not being able to write, not having a reason to write, is perhaps the hardest thing because you have to have been there, and thus you have to admit you're not perfect. This is a beautiful take on it, personifying your muse into a beautiful girl... makes it all the more painful to watch your inspiration slip away. -
this is a very creative way to ... to get rid of writers block i guess... it sparks some creativity inside me ... well yeah it was alright its not the best poem ive ever heard but its the only one about writeres blcok... wich is kinda creative and funny at the same time
keep writing dont give up

A clever metaphor for writers block...unless you speak about something i havent seen....or perhaps i just read to much into it...anyways an interesting write
keep up the good work
