hahahahah, I LOVE this!!!  I know exactly how this all feels.  I have had days when I'll be DREAMING of poetry phrases and I wake up in a panic, grabbing for my notebook to write it down before it disappears.  LOL.  That happens a lot with my dreams too.  This was great, Joe, absolutely great!

Re: One word: awesome...

Hi Chris.  I'm glad that its not just me who has this problem. My wife makes the same type of comments about me.  Last night I promised myself that I would put my muse to bed, and go straight to sleep.  So what did I do, but write a poem about putting my muse to sleep. I can't win.  But you know what, I wouldn't have it any other way.

One word: awesome...

My wife likes to tell people that I go to bed writing, turn the light back on a few times to scribble things down, and first thing in the morning, I'm back to my notepad in a furious solitude.  This was well put; I'll be sure to share it with her... - Chris
