ADDICTION'S WEB

Casanovas slipping into the red-light tangle; Forbidden fruits, where temptations dangle. A carousel sequelae of transient fun, Shoving precious life through a darkened dungeon. Herpes, a saboteur of life's quality; Silent falsehoods, pernicious in totality. Retrovirus tainting the filthy foray— Courtesan's fate wrapped in tragic dismay. The French disease, resurging like a dragon, Greatest mimicker, its curse on the wagon. An avalanche of despair, harrowing as the Holocaust; Fleeting morale fulgurates, bruising life's bitter frost. Relationships crumble, akin to a precarious card cascade— An insidious monster of misery, lurking like a ticking grenade. Dire repercussions of the aftermath, Grueling the innocent's once-quiet path. Serenading the cognizant wizard, Salvaging thyself from a tumultuous blizzard.

Dear Jeta, indeed, addiction is a sticky web hard to escape once snared. Your imagery is potent and creatively expressed. Wonderful rhyming couplets tell a harrowing story of addiction. Congratulations for your success in Kai's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
