A very well-written little story putting the muse to the test. It seems he was there somewhere inside the mix not very sure what he should do. Let you try yourself or give you a good idea

This Statement-Question poem, Testing My Muse, seems to flow naturally from statement to question in each succeeding stanza. I think your muse snuck in there.

Hahaha, well, by the looks of what I've just read here in relation to the contest you've entered this delightfully well rhymed little verse in, my answer would be, "Yes, I believe you will succeed."
Best of luck to you in the contest, Anonymous Poet...

Reviewed in the blind for contest voting. This poem is very relatable to writers everywhere. I like how your muse/narrator can't decide between freestyle, rhymes and then needs a topic. Great picture. The poem resonated with me.

I love how you structured your stanzas with your musings first and then the question at the end of each one. Very clever. I found this fun to read and was sure you would get started on your poem...but perhaps you have more musings to consider. A plight of writers and poets as well, overcoming inertia. Is there a followup? Is it necessary to have a follow up? That's for you to decide. Very little to critique except for two things for you to consider. For a smoother flow in stanza one, leave out the word "all." Capital W on Will in the last stanza. Other than that, Voila! I'm smiling. Marge

It seems like your muse is on vacation, r maybe dead? This is a clever idea. It's unique and I'm sure it will do well in the contest. I guess you don't need a muse after all.

This speaks questions -- whether readers would like some free style prose with rhyme, offer a concept, and poet would succeed; well said, well done; DR ALCREATOR
