The Muse Has Gone Away Poem by Jonathan Goldman a.k.a JGthepoet

I sip my coffee in the Morn,
I search for words to write,
But search upon search brings no result,
As my brain puts up a fight.

I have no idea, today, for a poem,
The words will not make sense to me,
Why cannot I write fast today?
Why has the Muse left me?

Can I find a theme in distant thoughts
That’ll bring verses to the fore?
Or will the reason for this lack
Be lost for evermore?

I stir my coffee in the Morn,
I drink it, sip by sip,
Until I’ve drunk the whole darn cup,
And I’ve written no sense yet,
Except to convey to you today,
How the Muse has gone away.
