Deal Killer Soup

Nancy, I assure you I do not need to look up Google I am going through a deal killer right now, it’s invasive and toxic It is filling my brain till it is about to explode I cannot do what I should, instead I am doing this Pen to paper, with words flying left and right Meals missed, work and deadlines never ever done Words swirling around in my brain driving me nuts Not pen to paper with work, but instead crazy poetic words Screaming at me, let me out, let me out, I must escape These challengers set by you and others, poems to read and write Discipline, a treasured word that has suddenly got up and run away Now all I want to do is write verse and with you all happily play Deal Killer, Yes Deal Killer, this broad needs to earn a crust of bread Why am I so addicted, you’re a siren, alluring driving me mad I’m not that witty or erudite, like so many clever folks like you Simple verse, uncomplicated, somewhat corny, oh dear Boo Hoo Deal Killer this certainly is, its invasive, all other work set aside Poetry Soup, my life is in shatters I’m now so hooked on you.

Lizzie~I fell in love with your poem just as you have fallen in love with soup...THE soup! Most poets who enjoy it as much as you will relate to this Deal Breaker a lot! I can only offer u my small words of wisdom....take at least one day off from the soup each week and invest it into a person and try and shut down the word factory in your mind...it will keep your mind fresh...Again, this poem is so FROM THE HEART...raw and alive!! Gwendolen..ps..the US misses U too!!
