Addictive Poetry

Addictive poetry


I suddenly wake up and it's midnight,
And my heart is still at the poetry site,
Quietly get up and look for my mail,
And then into drafts and notes I trail,

Words and sentences my passion,
Traverse my inside ever in succession,
When these get struck at synapses,
Keep giving me concurrent relapses,

Addictive poetry my first love,
As if my soul is hands in glove,
Newer rhyme with every heart beat,
Deeper in my vein flows its each streak,

Fiction or fantasy at times for a contest,
Obsessive compulsion to enter gives a stress,
For want of creative words, I get too lean,
Expressing true emotions it's serene !

Dr Upma, Congratulations on your nice win. Thank you for all the time you took supporting and entering my contest this past year 2015:-) I'm taking, this time, to explain how I really enjoyed every entry. I truly wanted to place every poem, but two with high placements. However, it is a contest and with all the bickering going on about the way we judge our contest. I did not place everyone the way I wanted to in this contest. I do APOLOGIZE. Please don't be upset if you are sharing a placement or did not make the top 10. I feel every poem, should have been placed high. Stop by my latest Blog "Favorite Type of Poem" when you'd like or have time. Celebrate by sharing with us, Your Favorite type of poem. Have A Blessed Year. Love SKAT
