Freedom of expression in Poetry.

[ChristopherSea]

i keep hearing about the muse but have never seen it or know what it is people are talking about when they mention it. i'm not a translator, i'm not a poet per say, i'm not good enough to be the latter, i hear about the muse all the time and the word that comes to mind when i see it is 'pretentious' oh gawsh, i seem to have lorst me muse. milo made a lot of sense when he told me if you want to write, you will right. the muse is more often than not and excuse for be a lazy writer,


Some poets use the term for their inspirational source. There are certainly things, events, people, etc. that inspire me. Unfortunately, I am like you billy, with no little sprite on my shoulder whispering clever lines into my ear. The gods have forsaken me as well. I have to dig deep and work hard to produce a poem. I have never had what some refer to as writer's block either or 'lost their muse'. However, I can get lazy and lose my drive.
