Clearly your muse is alive and well, the evidence being this clever and well written poem. I love poems that rhyme and are easy to read as this one was. Best of luck in the contest.

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your entry in the My Muse poetry contest. I'm sorry to hear your muse has deserted you. It will come back--it always does, right?
I can't lend you my muse. We are too busy.
Good luck in the contest,
~Mustang Patty~

Hello Jay: Thanks for the laugh on this cold windy morning, I needed that. I enjoy reading your poetry very much my friend.
Losing our muse is something that all writers go through. Most are just temporary, but some linger on.
Once a writer, always a writer. Someone with a gift for writing poetry, such as you have, will never be over the hill until the day they put you in the ground.
Keep writing, my friend...Bill

I often feel this way - I don't know where the poems come from but when they do its fun to write them down - yet when times are long between writings I wonder where and if I'll ever write a decent one again - sometimes it seems they will never stop and they just flow - and then boom - nothing - your muse poem was a fun read - I doubt if he ran away - respectfully Ron

Don't worry Jaybird, it's on the way back. When I read this poem your muse visited me and inspired me to sit down and write. I'm now sending it back it to its rightful owner who cares for and employs it so well. Sad humour in an easy flow with well chosen words that even I can understand; a great poem. Sorry, no sixes left. Best wishes, Peter

You could borrow my muse, Jay, but I don't think you'd care too much for him if you did.
He doesn't play well with others and he has this annoying habit of awakening you in the wee hours of early morning to get out of bed and write.
He will not take "no" for an answer so, if you've any hope of getting any rest at all you'll do what he says.
I'm just warning you in advance, heh-heh-heh...
Oh, and you don't have to worry about his well going dry.
He never runs out of ideas...
Nice writing, as usual.

Your poem is very self-deprecatory, possibly done for humour as most writers will identify with this... you think you are all washed up, over the hill, you think even your muse holds no high degree. This is where self-defeating negativity can be harmful to encouraging the muse to return. Did it leave when you were feeling upbeat and successful? You have to attract it back by pretending it never left... give it encouragement by keeping on writing... clearly 75 years of accumulated life story and writing ability is a wonderful thing to be celebrated. Throw a party for your muse!

I like your rhyming Quatrain poem. It flows well with a meaningful message. It is interesting that you have been writing poetry for seventy-five years. I like rhyming poems, as well, especially spiritual ones. I look forward to reading more of your poems. Good use of alliteration of m, a, and w letters and sounds. Best wishes!
