I've lost my muse

By Shikiryu

I dont know what to write!!!
my muse has flown the coop,
She's left me to handle mad metaphors chasing swift similes.
I have writer's block, my mind is truly void,
Random lyrics apparate into my mindscape...
To get cursed into oblivion by the conjurer of boredom.
My mind is empty,
I struggle to find some form of poetic coherence,
To bring order to the non-existent chaos.
I grasp at straws, clutch at cliches,
I try to use awesome, alliterated assonance, pooled with mumbled metaphors and satrical similies...
To no avail.
This all sounds scripted,
Like lines from a shoddy Elizibathan play.
I dont know what to write!!!
I'm like a anguished kaleidescope of emptiness,
In turmoil with nothing.
My muse is gone,
Leaving me...... Here...
Alone... Misunderstood....
I can't even end this neatly!
Is this the end???

Very nicely done, I do agree that writers block is somewhat of an annoyance.. We all will experience this sometime during our time.. I sometimes struggle to find the words to describe the way I'm feeling. Or even better yet, finding a suitable name.. For the most simple things are sometimes the hardest. Great job though, I genuinely enjoyed this.

Well done! I enjoyed this and I think most writers have been through this at one time or another. Ciao, T/S
