Notes About The Poem

Addiction
Much addicted to sweets, how to abstain!
Strong taste buds for sweet, rest buds are thinner.
Sweets are most favorite, I can’t refrain.
Compulsory in breakfast, lunch, dinner.
All attempts to avoid sweet went in vain.
My stomach holds little capacity.
Demons of greed for sweet could not be slain.
Less staple food, sweets being priority.
In feast, less sweet items offered woes me.
My tongue is destined to taste sweet
Desserts and Beverage bring me spree.
Rest taste buds are unable to compete.
Temptation for sweets could never be drained.
Due to stress developed sugar problem
To adore sweet items my tongue is trained.
Taking sweets and medicine: Whom to blame ?
