Rival Revival - The Spry Sprite of Night That Incites Me to Write

(To answer a prompt request from Writer’s Island on “Empower” and Rivalry.”)

Rival Revival -
The Spry Sprite of Night That Incites Me to Write

My pen has found its own dear muse;
Although not one that I would choose.
The rivalry of deadlined writes
Empowers me to greater heights,
And thus ignites my writer fuse.

A healthy competition may
Soon drive a writer’s block away.
The challenge of a race to win
Can spur an author to begin
A poem, essay or a play.

And so, my muse, I welcome you.
Continue to my thoughts pursue.
Although you cause me to lose sleep,
With dreaming and with darings deep,
I thrive upon our rendezvous.

  3. A writers' poem. All the writers would love this. Why not? Your words tell the common struggles shared by every one who writes.

    I wish you well.
