Andrew - no need at all to be sorry for this well-written lament on the absence of Muse - -- applause for a write that rhymes so eloquently despite the so -called writers block. Looking forward to your poem on rain........

Surprisingly ANDREW your muselessness has resuited in a POEM of fine STRUCTURE ~ Five balanced Quatrains with a consistent Rhyme Pattern aaaa bbbb etc ! BUT alas the SUBJECT is lacking ! A lament on the missing muse as one would lament a Lost Love ! HOWEVER what it lacks in SUBSTANCE is more than compensated by STRUCTRE ~ so all in all an interesting and amusing POME ! However as a culinary expert (Lecturer in Food Science) I must take umbrage at the denigration of my Friend APRICOT ! If one plucks them from the TREE for instant consumtion Al fresco ~ The Peach might just have a slight edge ! BUT I (BRIAN) have had occassion in this last week to cook two *One Pot Casseroles* the first based on LAMB and the second CHICKEN. In addition to (different) appropriate vegetables etc I included DRIED APRICOTS in both Dishes to be served with boiled & buttered whole baby new potatoes (think about it). My guests (Foodies) on both occasions said how beautifully the APRICOT had ameliorated the organoleptic quality of the dish. Had I used PEACH it would have disintergrated and dissapeared witout trace ~ I rest my case !
Blessing & Peace & Muse Restoration
Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Writers block, me think she visited me, for I can\'t put two fruits together either today. No peaches, apricots, no parsnips, cherries, or turnips either, and neither wetter or better.
Now what was I going to say - AHHH WELLL!!!!!!!!!!!

A perfect expression of that feeling we all get from time to time, sometimes a lack of inspiration can be the inspiration itself!

It is such a beautiful poem. Thank you so much for posting it. I really enjoyed it. My favorite lines are: A waiting hand when I\'m left behind / My morning when I dream the night. So beautiful, so moving... The images are unforgettable... Thank you.

To find someone that preps you up
and a true partner is a rarity in present times, so to read your piece is a true delight.

Your words painted the pain of past
Stories when heard one feels aghast
The cause then, still exists even now
Try as we must, we don\'t know how
