Happy Saturday to you fellow poet. I guess the moral of this story would be, even Muses need a day off. I enjoyed your poem, had good rhymes and a nice rhythm to it. Good luck in the contest.

I like it - a multiple personality muse! I also like the echoes from other sources... whim and a prayer and (McCavity's) not there. That's what muses... meece? do; pick up and shuffle material.

Hello :)
I enjoyed your poem.
Your muse sounds rather like mine, although mine is frustratingly absent most of the time...!
Sound rhyme scheme and in good humour, this is a great entry for the contest. Good Luck!
Best wishes, Debra :)

    Thanks for reviewing. Those muses are tricky; they have minds of their own. They come, they go.

As long as your muse is inspiring you to write, then all is well, not sure I have found my muse rolled in manure, but often on battle fields! I have many muses and each one pops up in the oddest of places, good luck with the contest, perfect rhyming, love Dolly x

A very well-written poem about the Muse that will come with bright and awesome ideas all year long, until the pressure is on and the deadline speeds up them he left us to struggle on our own.

    The muse amuses itself sometimes.

I really enjoyed your poem. I like how you used personification to make your muse come to life.
Just a couple of comments. In stanza 4, the parallelism is broken. You use 'a' in front of the first two objects, but then you don't use it for 'river' and 'bird'. If it's for the sound or flow, you could move the 'tree' before 'bird'.
Also, in stanza 5, line 3. I would remove the ',' so there's no interruption. Just an idea.

    Thanks for your review and for your comments (useful ones). I use commas too much.
