This is the hour that suits me most
The time of night when I play host
To a stubborn muse who refuses to sleep
Who keeps me from my slumber deep
“Write the words”, she screams at me
Buzzing about, like an angry bee
No use arguing with this chick
Her mood swings come on pretty quick
I try to snooze, unsuccessfully
She tugs on my hair, quite like a bully
And then she lightens up her tone
She knows I need to be alone
To write the words that swirl in my head
The ones she whispered before SHE went to bed

And I thought I was the only one who went through this every night. Nice to know there are others,each one with a muse who haunts their creative minds…

If a writer tells you they have no muse, they’re lying lol We all have them and they torment us as much as possible

I loved the poem and how you let it end. Great! I hope it was not too much to write and you could still get some more hours to sleep.

Thank you, my friend! I am an insomniac, I rarely get more than 3 or 4 hours of sleep, if you can even call it that. As long as my muse doesn’t snore, she’s always welcomed LOL

I understand 😯I love sweets but I avoid to eat it except a piece of cake at times. Most of all chocolate because my skin reacts… 😁

You have a lot of willpower!! I can’t pass up a piece of cake, but I don’t eat “candy”. I think after 15 years of being surrounded by it (my former profession in weddings), I can pass 🙂

Haha… yes, same over here! I don’t mind to skip candies. No chocolate for 2 or 3 days also stops the craving. But cakes 😍
