You did a wonderful job with this. I can see why you won the muse contest. Every word and phrase is well chosen and, each rhyme works as well. This is excellent in every way and, I cannot think of anything I would change with this one. I like to wake up early and write on my laptop computer. I write best in the wee early hours of the morning. I have my favorite place at my desk, which is in my bedroom. I am sitting there right now.
Thank you, Mimi, for contributing to the Fan Story collective this marvelous poem.
Have a good upcoming week,
Jesse

I just love that picture! And your words are perfectly chosen to keep with an even meter and pleasant rhyming throughout the writing process, including that moment of thrill and exultation of having written it exactly as you wanted to do! Congratulation on the win!

This is outstanding! I liked everything about it. The rhyming and the rhythm are terrific. The picture you selected was perfect for the poem and I could see the "writer" pecking away! Great work!

This poem is a celebration of creativity and poetry, and you had a nice upbeat rhythm in the short meter and rhyme scheme that just tripped along. It reminded me of a Keats favorite, There Was A Naughty Boy... and a naughty boy was he, for nothing would he do, but scribble poetry....estory

A beautifully structured poem with well-chosen words for impact. I'm not at all surprised that this won the content hand down. A lovely poem with great rhyme and meter. Congratulations on the contest win -- it's well deserved. Much enjoyed. I will also try to find a quiet corner for writing!:)
