I love your poem. It's creative and humorous. Also self-deprecating.
I guess we are all abandoned by our Muse sometimes... but it does come back eventually.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

This is an enjoyable read. It certainly paints a clear picture of the suffering endured. It flows easily and rhyming scheme is good. Thanks for sharing

I love this poem. Thanks for offering! Creative, nice word choices, clear and straight-forward. I know you have been at this a long time - and it is worthwhile. Thank you.

An excellent poem about your runaway muse! From the perfect structure of your poem and well rhymed lines, I don't think you have to worry. Your muse is still there.

Amusing little pseudo-ditty which I'm sure would work to music. Seems to me a self-cure for writer's block - ie write about writer's block (yeah I know it's a muse contest).
Seriously, it's an interesting angle to write about your lost muse, rather than a specific muse. I presume still within the parameters. Overall pretty good though the ending (final line) doesn't seem like an ending to me. Just saying. Good luck.

Oh for sure it's on the way back home. Love the rhyme and meter of this piece. As a seasoned poet, you must know that those moments of insight often come and go.

Nice job, Jaybird1. Anyone who writes and has ever had a muse, has lost it and visited the lost and found looking from time to time. I like the self-deprecation, something every person- not just every writer- must possess. While you question the loyalty of said muse, it's clear you hold a spot for it and it for you, I suspect. Stop looking- it will come back when you're both ready.

My muse was silent for seventy years, then snarled like my chihuahua for a few months, then faded into the twilight. This responds directly to the prompt, and with balladesque rhymes...excellent post.

Hit me between the eyes. Yep, I understand this strong worded poem. It will return one day full blast when you have not a pen. LOL. Thanks for sharing. I find nothing wrong.
