Addiction

More, more give me More!
Out the door
fly to cop ...
pop
and drink it down,
down into More.
Gotta score smoke
to choke down
a fix at six
with a martini.
What a weanie!
Heroin is a quicker
fixer More.
An upper,
a downer
than crown her
epitaph with 
More!! More!!
More shopping,
lets go shopping
dropping lots of credit card
debt regret to crave.
Then, try sex speeding
through More with
a travel trailer trawler
make me holler!
Strung out on coffee,
maybe toffee ...
maybe War More.
Gotta go ...
addicted to Poe
addicted to writing to you.
Trauma addiction,
drama addict, food ...
Yeah, lets eat
More!

... I know, I am stubborn; but I understand how sometimes rules are there to help, not hinder..... I shall ponder.... but I am stubborn. "Addiction".. loved the punchy short lines, almost in a hurry to get "more" down, frenetically searching for what ever comes next .. Indicative of modern life and ones own addictions and how thoughtlessly we become addicted and never ask ourselves why.... excellent ! write Sue... 10 out of 10

Hi Sue, thank you for your comment Sue "terrific writer" you'll make me blush.... but thank you. That this is an awesome site I agree with you completely, and I am touched that you like my work so much and want others to read it.... if I told you that some of these poems have been in my files for years and have never been read by anyone... and now here "one" person a complete stranger and fellow writer has read and liked and told me so... what a pleasure that is... .....
