This 5-7-5 addressing writer's block, Not Amusing, has the correct format and makes me think that "Amusing we will go, Amusing we will go, Hi Ho a derry oh, yadda yadda yadda

I love your title. And the body of your poem is great and realistic. I guess that is what happens when the words don't come. Probably should have a contest for when they do after a draught ... that would be intriguing

Cool I know the feeling of being alone. My love, my heart, my muse, had taken a vacation. This is a good entry for the 5-7-5 contest. A good image does not hurt.

I think most of us can relate to your words. I like the last line "Muse has gone away". Often I think my muse ahs gone away. Excellent 5-7-5 form and best wishes for the contest.

Your picture made me laugh out loud. That's exactly how I look when my brain dribbles out my ears.

Current fashion is not to capitalize the first word in a line if the poem has no punctuation. And short poems like these are seldom punctuated. In any case, if you're going to use capitals and a question mark, you should properly punctuate the rest.

In any case, your syllable counts are correct and you've written to the spirit of the subject. Best of luck! :) Nancy

Isn't this the truth? I can identify with this poor monkey! Clever Writer's Block 5-7-5 contest. I've written about writer's block myself, such a funny theme but since writer's generally experience it, it does make a great subject. Great humor, good luck in the contest.
