Love the way your text picks up the colours of the flowers and her floral attire! Perfectly complemented by your summery, dreamy 5 line verse. Thank you so much, Gypsy. Debbie

We all need a break at times. She is stunning! Your words beautifully express the theme in living color as it were. Thanks for sharing this beautiful Haiku poem.
Have a great evening.

That's funny. Now I'm wondering who the "overambitious poet" is. Summer is a great time to take a break and find inspiration from new sources! Another lovely poem!

Gypsy, I love the photo, and the words are beautiful.
I often find myself musing about morphine to a French cafe, or a sunny tropical land, so your poem speaks to me.
I now live is a kind of depressing place, but as long as I have my imagination, like that of the one in your poem, I'm ok.
Great poem, Gypsy.
Cindy

Hi, Gypsy. I hope you are well

Ain't that a kick. The roles are reversed. The abused muse screams for help. Can the writer ever be the abused one? Can a muse abuse a writer?

If you think those times that the muse went fishing, went on a cross-country trip or just wasn't around for whatever reason. During those times the muse is abusing the writer. So I guess fair is fair

I really liked how you approached this and I enjoyed reading your poem. Very humorous

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Gypsy, I love this poem. It is filled with vivid and whimsical imagery.

Of special note:
summer muse
lost in adventures
on faraway lands--

(Well, that explains where my muse went about 10 years ago.
When the hell is she ever going to come back? She must have
teamed up with some hottie lifeguard, or she's just hanging out
there ~ somewhere on a star. Really, who does she think she it?!)

Gypsyh, this is a fun poem that made me smile, and it is a poem that many can/will relate to. Beautiful presentation. Well done. Xo. M

I love what you created with the lovely picture of the pretty lady at the top, then the poem, and the flowers beneath. Very attractive.
I must admit I am not familiar with Gogyohka, the Japanese poetic form of poetry. So, I learn something else today! It is very nice. I am impressed that you know about these different forms. Interesting!

This poem was lovely on its own, but it is made even more beautiful by your colors and formatting, not to mention the beautiful illustration. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
