You are so right!I always pictured the muse like something beautiful,but the muse can be anything . The muse don't let me sleep either . But I prefer that it stays with me all the time , rather without it .

Hi Dean Kuch,

Try hanging cloves of garlic round your bed and sleeping wearing a crucifix and clutching ... Sounds like the kind of 'muse' to get rid of. A bit of a beastie perhaps?

Interesting theme though for your poem, so he can't be all bad ...

Maybe.

This is great poetry and your graphics compliment is very nicely. I wrote a poem about my muse a few weeks ago which complained about the same problem. although mine is a fiesty female fairy she is just as persistent.

This is yet another very dark and sinister poem that the author has created with this piece of writing. This is a depressing muse to have following you indeed. My muse is something along the same lines. I first started my writing as a war diary and the need to talk about my experiences. It has now evolved into fiction, but I still insert some life experiences and try to banish the demons so I know where you are coming from.

Your usual FANTASTIC macabre artwork, professional presentation and creepy music, Dean.

Very dramatic words to express how the devil in your muse always has his talons in you to some degree. I think we share the same muse.

Excellent flow and rhymes.

One of your VERY BEST IMHO. Sure worth my sixer.

Have a peaceful Sunday. :-)

Cheers, Ted.

this is a really eerie piece of poetry! but i can relate to having insomnia to do with poems. i might wake up in the middle of the night, ready to write.
thank you for sharing!

He is a relentless monster, and he rarely allows me to sleep. When I do finally go to sleep, he's there too, invading my dreams. It's enough to drive a person insane...

What a poem Dean, I cannot believe someone like you would have this terrible demon try to destroy your spirit and soul. You are so so much stronger, nobody knows what s it in the mind except you, get rid of it, fight harder to do that. For me reading your previous poems, make me not want to believe whats behind this poem. Of course so well written my friend, you are unique, know that about yourself. Love Terry an admirer oxoxo

Sounds like some therapy is needed here. Maybe listen to classical music or lullabys. I know when I listen to Metallica I get some serious rage writing going on, perhaps the opposite would be true. Of course then we wouldn't have your brilliant writing to look forward to. It is a pickle, no doubt about it. Maybe you could threaten your muse with watching nothing but C-SPAN. Of course then your muse would probably start you thinking about a rabid sasquatch running rampant through a budget hearing. :)
Back on point, this poem was great. The rhyme and rhythm were smooth. The only minor complaint I have is in the first stanza your word blends in with the picture, making part of it unreadable. Maybe a different color font would be in order. Other than that, great poem. Keep up the good work.

What an annoying beggar he must be.
It is difficult to sleep when the muse and the ideas just go round and round in your mind.
In your case though it would be a living nightmare.A case of karma being a b... h maybe. Lol.
I'd sympathise, but horror is your forte, so I guess you take the ideas and run with them until you pass out from exhaustion or "off" the muse.

Your muse is someone who encourages you to keep writing, so it's not all bad, great wording as always , albeit a tad scary, great rhyming and well done so great poem,
Andrew
