I'm not a diva
For Natasha Collazo's Unofficial Challenge in honour of National Poetry Month
I want to write a poem
But words I cannot find.
It's no biggy, a minor deal;
I really do not mind.
It would be nice to tap the keys
And inspiration find
But if the muse is not amused
I won't attempt the grind.
I'm not a diva when I say:
Just letting those words come my way.

Writing About Writing: The Rainbow Trap
The good thing about living in modern times is that LGBTQ representation in media is increasing. Not just in niche and Independant media, either, but also in mainstream media. Books, movies, TV shows, comics... they're finally catching on that LGBTQ+ people form a significant part of their audience, and deserve to see themselves on screen and in fiction, not just as victims in documentaries and true crime shows.

💖 Nicely done! 🌸
Very cute poem!💖 Loved: “ But if the muse is not amused I won't attempt the grind.”🤣
Well-wrought and off-the-cuff!
Definitely not a diva, but always a leading lady! Bravo, Rachel!
Nice work, Rachel. The words are good, as is the rhyme.
I’m not a diva either and wouldn’t even attempt to write poetry. Therefore my hat’s off to you for courage and a great result, Rachel.
I’m with Dharsheena… the muse is not amused is my favourite line. Fab, Rachel.
Oooo, muse is not amused, I especially loved that!
Such good rhymes - you make it look effortless.
Poetry, like love, can be compared to a fart. If you have to force it ... 😁 Loved this, although it does dirty if discourage me from entering one because I can't top this 😁
Let it flow, my friend.
But if the muse is not amused I won't attempt the grind. I'm not a diva when I say Just letting those words come my way. 👏 Fun fact: there’s peacocks in my neighborhood and I collect all their feathers that they shed. I have a huge bouquet in a vase in my house 😂
Totally relatable and lovely!!
FELT THIS . NOT A DIVA 🦚 very clever!
Oh, I did too. We all have those days, Rachel.
I felt that.
I love this, Rachel. Writing about not writing brought a smile to my face! Poetry is endlessly versatile!
