This funny poem, My Muse, goes from debating whether to jot down some late-night inspiration to questioning the seeming disappearance of pantyhose on the world stage. I think we know what your muse was trying to tell you.

As a humorous piece, this is lots of good elements. I like the upbeat, lilting rhythm of the meter, the rhyme scheme gives it familiar feel, and the relationship between writer and muse is well personified. We have the tired writer, and the capricious muse, who disappears at the end...like pantyhose, of all things. the last word is the real glitter that makes this poem estory

If only secret lovers left the words we crave, how much easier life would be. Perhaps if you wore those old pantyhose to bed he might linger longer, but then again. Good luck

This poem was nicely stitched with great musical elements of meter throughout, nice use of alliterations, some great images. You have a nice soft, reverent tone in this poem, there is plenty of color in it, you ignite the mind to spark.

Enjoyed reading this poem. I think it is the story for most writers. We never have the ideas or the inspiration when we are ready to write! The words flow nicely and the rhyming is good. Thank you for the enjoyable read and good luck in the contest!

Well, you could always take up robbing banks and convenience stores. Or, become a hired hitwoman for the mob. That would put that drawer full of pantyhose to use (you did ask!).
As for your muse driving you nuts to where you can't get any rest, I know exactly what you mean! No sooner have I laid down my weary head when here he comes, buggin' me to write.

Oh, woe are we, we poets -- all;
we poor tormented sheep.
Our muses seem to have a ball
preventing us from sleep!

This is a very cute poem you have penned about your muse and how you are awakened to write. You used very good and funny wording that made me giggle as I read this. Best wishes in the contest. Teri
