Well, you tried to make us scream with the pictures and all, and it is a great poem. I think that each persons muse is very different. I think a male muse would be great, even if he doesn't let one sleep. A muse could also be amusing (sorry, I couldn't help myself).

Intersting thoughts that make for quite a poem. The rhymes have nice little edge to them, that send a chill across the shoulders. Good stuff there, Dean.

Hey Dean,
I appreciate where you're coming from with this idea.
Sometimes it seems those pesky muses are there for nothing more than stirring the shit, and making a mess of our nice, organized brains...leaving us the task of picking up the clutter and trying to make some sense of what's left, lol. Thank goodness, as inspiration flows from the pen, others can get a general idea of what we were trying to portray. Nice job with this effort...completely and delightfully yucky! Lol! Later, Bill

Thanks for another great poem that tells us of an inner monster of which I and many others can relate. Trapped and at the mercy of a muse. Great job. :-)

I turned of the sound of my laptop - I'm having goosies (JLo)! It's quarter to midnight here in the Philippines. I'm catching up reading what's in my inbox. I thought I was tired but I am tempted to read on. Good night and sweet dreams, my friend! c", Mae

Good use of the abab rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with page/rage. Good rhythm and flow. Love the pictures and the music. My wife told me to shut the music off or she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. Again, my brother, good work.

This was really creepy, Dean lol. I enjoyed this piece, you know I'm a big fan of the pictapoems and this one was definitely bang on. I enjoyed the non traditional approach to the muse aspect and the way you crafted this piece certainly gave it an eerie appeal. Great work as always, thanks for sharing.

A relentless monster... that's almost as creepy as the poem, Dean. And you do creepy so well. Loved this:

'And, so I write, but so would you
to get a little sleep,
he won't let up until I do,
yet he offers up not a peep...' That just stone-cold!

All my best,

Bev

I hear you, Dean, we writers are a bit obsessed, unable to quiet the brain...your well-rhymed poem speaks the truth about how words and ideas stir around in our heads.

This is great. I really enjoyed reading this one. I suppose each of our "muses" comes in different forms and shapes. In your first two stanzas, your muse sounds like my wife. Excellent piece of writing my friend, "keep-em coming." Bill
