Hyle Chu Poet Free verse

Carbon Monoxide (Co) Week 1: O.D.A.A.T.

Chain smoke until
I'm in care of the CO.
There's one left, still.
I smoke it really slow.
"It's the end," I anticipate
As the last inch evaporates.

I can't get
Over it;
It's over before 
I know it.
Butt, I can't quit.
I'm possessed with this 
Obsession; I'm addicted.

My lungs have oxygen,
Yet I'm suffocating inside.
I can't breathe again
Without my 'noxide.

Vince Suzadail Jr. June 30, 2009 at 6:43 PM I did quit (a hundred and twenty five pounds ago.). I guess you could say quitting has made me a well "rounded" person. Vince

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen June 28, 2009 at 4:09 PM I've heard that it is very difficult to quit smoking. Never give up, though. It could add years to your life. Very nicely portrayed. Keep writing.

Sandra Hudson June 25, 2009 at 7:29 PM I could not have quit without Gods divine intervention. He through his grace saw fit to release my desire, renew my willpower, and forget that I even had the nasty habit. This after three packs a day for the last 20 or so years. I am truly blessed. -AA its been 5 years now since I quit.
