Quite the humor filled take on one of the most important assets to all writers, My Muse Went On Vacation, as noted by our suggester: "it can be quite harrowing when our muses decide they need a vacation. This poem, with its turn of phrase and flowing rhymes, puts a humorous spin on the emotions we go through when left to our own devises without the help of our muses." =knittingknots does this and more with style.

My muse went on vacation
and  took all my best thoughts
and all my favorite phrases,
and the bunnies with their plots,
she ran off with all the fluff stuff,
she ran off with the hero's sword--
she left me sitting here alone,
bemused and rather bored.

My muse went on vacation
To a sunny foreign clime,
and left me sitting here alone
without a word to rhyme,
She's laying on a beach somewhere
without a hint of snow,
and leaving me with winter's chill
and no place left to go.

My muse went on vacation -
I hope she's coming back
With a healthy tan, a rosy glow
and some fresh stuff to attack--
I miss her interaction,
how she drove me crazy mad,
how I teased her for the things she said
that came out rather bad.

But since my muse went on vacation
my writing's getting stale,
no smexy dancing dreams to write,
my words seem set on fail.
I promise not to tease her
if she'll only let me write -
O hurry home, bright redhaired girl,
or kiss career goodnight!
There are times I swear the ghost of Shel Silverstein slips into my brain and makes me do this sort of stuff....
