My fickle muse
I think most writers go through a dry spell when it seems like you experience what is called ‘ writers’ block’. This has happened to me for the past two years or so. I blame my muses. I say they are being fickle! What did I do to anger them?
Well honestly, I have no one to blame but myself and I’ll tell you why in a minute
You see, I have been filling my mind with worries and that has been blocking the free flow of inspiration to pour out from my brain. Negative thoughts can block beautiful poetic creations to emerge. Unless you want to write dark poetry.
Sometimes, dark or sad poetry emerges out of our difficult or sad times in our lives but seriously, who wants to always read sad or dark poetry. I think people want to read beautiful and uplifting poetry or deep and profound musings. It’s true, some of the best writings have come from very sad or devastating events in our lives but I always try to end the poem with a positive twist or a lesson learned from our trials in this life. There usually is some sort of lesson to be learned for every trial we’ve been through in this life even though we might not realize it at the time
Well, I think my muses have returned and I am over joyed about it but I have to be careful not to ignore them or they might just fly away again to help someone who will take time to listen to their whispers of poetic musings. I was on a roll last month and I was writing a short poem every day but I got side tracked with other things lately and have been ignoring my muses again They don’t take lightly to that! 😎
So,Thank you my dear fickle muses. Don’t leave me again! When they are near,my words just flow like a river.
I will write my daily poem shortly on my poetry site.😄 I promise🙏😇
I love my muses. I hope to meet them one day. 😆❤️🌸👌

Spoken Word poetry by Giovanna Sclafani and music by Bill Mazur
Lucid Dreams (Poem) by Giovanna Sclafani and music by Bill Mazur
I am so excited about my spoken word poetry recording with original music by my friend Bill Mazur
From the pits of hell I arise
I took a journey on the dark side
and found myself in the pits of hell
with no where to hide
in the bottomless pit I fell
with no warning or sign
I stumbled into his web
lured by the feast offered
and the prize was fed
little did I know the price I’d pay
for being in this hell where i was led
Seaching for an escape
from this complicated maze
I’m wandering like a cat without a head
not knowing which way to be led
I cry out for help from the depths of my misery
with no compassionate soul to hear me
I pray for the gods to help me
they seemed to be sleeping
I am so lost
filled with terror
of never finding home again
for what was my sin
Awake Oh Gods above
lead me out of this abyss
to a land of milk…
