Very enjoyable, and the chase is on. We're all guilty of having to break through writers block sometimes and somehow? I might have misinterpreted, but a good piece all the same. Well done.

I like rhyming poems and this one flows nice and, of course, we possessed writers can relate. We love to write and thus document our feelings along the road of life. Enjoyed it.

It's interesting to have a light-hearted poem about invoking your muse. I'm no expert, but the muses always struck me as somewhat solemn and grand, and reducing them to some kind of merchandisers is funny. I would change the ending of this excellent poem by adding a 'but - ' to line 14, and ending with 15 and 16 running, 'No muse needed to do what you gotta do/ Truth is, your best writing's gotta come from you.'
However you react, Jesse - keep that six-gun in your holster. Frank

Very good with the rhyme scheme, but the meter needs a little tweaking. Poems about ones muse are always interesting to read. You have done a good job in that respect.

-I like your title and poem, Jesse.
-Good examples and rhyme in each verse.
-A good opening verse establishes the premise.
-I like the transition from waves to the word splash.
-A good concluding verse with the idea of
"shopping for your muse." That would be
an interesting store!
-You make a good point at the end
about "writing your very best."
-Well done, and have a good day!

This work has reached the exceptional level

This poem is superb in every respect--skillfully and very creatively written, expressive, and vividly descriptive of the serious poet's desire to
"massage" the muse. Then--at best we write to please ourselves--appealing message.

You did a rally nice job on this piece. I found this to be very relatable at this particular point in my life where I am trying to focus more on writing for my enjoyment and seeing that it's making my writing come a lot easier and yielding a higher reward.

Your last line is a wise one but the whole poem is great. You touched on so many writers' common thoughts and brought them to a happy last thought.That darn muse,lol. Nicely done!
