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... .....
