Addictive Poetry

Dictionaries are dealers, supplying A,B,C, categories 

poets are users, ideas flowing through their capillaries,

addictive such potency, urgency to revisit their supplier

desperation for stronger words, language of utter desire,

word dependency, a need to compose a masterpiece 

thoughts, feelings, expressively written, ideas to release,

withdrawal symptoms experienced by slight loss of muse

rehabilitation will certainly be needed after verbal abuse,

depression, anxiety and despair created through criticism 

could lead to despicable criminal acts of plagiarism,

being an author, poet or lyricist can be really exciting 

depend on your pen, create, inspire, keep writing.

This is great, Roy, as noted with a bit of “tongue in cheek”! ;)
