Thank you Susan-much appreciated
Comment from Ogden
My advice to the anonymous muse abuser. (I'm not an entrant.)
Your muse can't up and leave you.
You forever have your muse.
You should have been more careful!
They will stray from underuse.
You have to do your pennance.
(Worse verse will prove you miss it.)
You might then be rewarded
With one muse 'dues paid' visit.
;) Please abbide my prank!
Excellent Ode contest entry! Good luck in the voting!!
Good job! Good contest entry!

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem about a muse, Over the Hill, is a new spin on losing your mojo temporarily. I like the rhyme scheme and it nears a heptameter pace. My muse is on life support.

Comment from Lisa Deverick
Yes I have been in your shoes friend. I love your last two lines. I"'m sure you would not want it, it holds no high degree." It is when we don't hold ourselves up so seriously that makes us more humble and approachable. I'm sure you will be inspired soon. Keep your sense of humor, and thank you for sharing it with us!

Comment from AnnaLinda
Well Sir,
I don't think you would want mine...haha
I love, love this entry. I mean are you sure
you lost your muse? Loved these lines:
"I sit amid'st my darkness,
devoid of tears to cry."
but sad... and...
"Perhaps, I've reached the apex
of what was my greatest thrill.
That leaves me with this sad, sad choice-
Just get on down that hill."
No, no don't do that. You are so humble:
"it holds no high degree."
This entry/poem brought me so many smiles.
You've got humor, a wonderful flow to this
and nice rhymes too.
Good luck and best wishes to you,
Linda

Comment from mvbrooks
I think your muse didn't leave you--more like it's playing "hide and seek" and, in the case of this poem, it was more "seek." Whimsical, clever, fun read.

Jay, you have managed to do very well without your Muse, my friend. Great quatrains, with solid abcb rhyme scheme. Your words flow freely and it is an easy read. My muse disappears from time to time... maybe our Muses are related? Or one and the same... when he/she leaves you, he/she comes to visit me for a while? Great poem. Warmest regards, Marijke :o)

For 2 cents and 1 point I'll let you know where to find muses. In Clovis, New Mexico there is an apartment complex
called "Muse Manor." I am sure you will find yours or one that will be compatible.
