When the Muse Hits
And when it Doesn't
When the muse hits,
the pen writes mightily,
no furrowed brows,
no sweaty paws.
When the muse hits,
the pen writes steadily,
the words flow freely,
thoughts formed so easy.
When the muse hits,
the pen glides,
on paper it strides,
idea or thought abides.
When the muse hits,
the pen is a weapon,
of great destruction,
which can wreck devastation.
When the muse departs,
the pen is silent,
seemingly indolent,
a useless implement.

Post a CommentGood one! Sometimes I'd like to hit my muse!
The Muse surely hitted you... how wonderful your words flow!
A weapon indeed! When you think about it, it is really quite profound!
Yes it can be rough that writer's block. But your muse is a powerful friend. You should talk.
So enjoyable!
I think you summed it up nicely. Sometimes, it is so very easy. Other times, one can sit and stare at the paper/computer screen, watching as nothing happens. Good work, Tussy.
This is excellent work. Beautifully done. :-)
Well penned with wonderful imagery to boot! Roberta Baxter
the pen is a weapon..love it! Great close.
