Zephyr Asking folks to remember guidelines, 2 comments on other poems per one post of your own pretty please.! It is possible to learn a lot by considering other peoples poems and it will help your own poetic craft. Don't be shy,and stick to critique of the poem - not the poet., if you are new to critique, just share what you liked and what worked for you in the poem, and anything that did not work for you.

Hi Everyone, I decided to join this group after getting a great invite.
  My problem is this…my muse WAS a wonderful temptress.  She inspired, enticed, and forced out my inner voice through my arm and onto paper.  However, she escaped me and fled to FL and took up residence as an old bluehair bald guy named Marty who sits around in his chest-high plaid shorts pinching the local ladies on the butt trying to get some Viagra-laden action.  He ritually attends Shuffleboard daily at 2pm and follows it up with an hour of Judge Judy. 
    Regardless, my muse has morphed into something untenable for any writer.  It is true she fled when I was in Night school while working 60hrs/wk and preparing to go to Pharmacy school.  Now that I'm actually in my program my semesters are grueling enough to stop most of my creative pursuits, save photography.  So now that I'm on Summer Break I figured I'd see what Gaia has to offer.  So once I figure out how to post a poem and do so, I'll try to be active in helping others with there work as well. 
    My creative writing mentor in grad school, Tim Seibels, left me with these words when I left the English Dept…”The Soul is a House…Let it Burn!”  In need to get back in touch with this passion.
    Enough rambling.  See ya in the Poets Workshop.

Hi Drew!  I love your teacher's words, “The Soul is a House…Let it Burn!”  and your sharing your meanderings.  Come play when you're ready!  See you!
