Debating Is My Narcotic

Once upon a time I had great debates with my husband sadly, now he is but a name engraved in stone I miss our discussions both philosophical and intellectual on a vast array of topics happening we would watch the daily news and that always started a wild debating conversation full of difference of opinions and I loved how we could differ and that was okay oh, I miss him so much If everyone agreed it would be a boring world I have a friend who is news informed, I like that so we can have some great long discussions over coffee any subject is okay- we do not filter people listening may think we are angry but we are not just enjoying a lively debate we may not agree on many things like politics or religion court cases, like guilty or not history will result in too many Cafe Au Laits and we will at last say farewell with a lovely hug for a stimulating debate is our narcotic _______________________ September 29, 2021 Poetry/Free Verse/Debating Is My Narcotic Copyright Protected, ID 09-1391-876-29 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Difference In Opinion sponsor, Shreya LN, Judged 11/13/2021 Honorable Mention

What a great intellectual and romantic attitude you put on display. So well done even in light of your loss. I'm sure your first would appreciate your sentiments.

Greg, thanks for the visit and comment and compliment, I am sure my true love would approve of my debating need. When I ask someone about something I saw in the news and they say "I don't watch the news'' oh, the newspaper then, "I don't read the newspaper" I am so disappointed, because what will we debate then ~peace and tranquility _Constance

Congratulations on your win. What a wonderful story/write. Love your line "If everyone agreed it would be a boring world." So very true. It is hard when one thinks they are right and the other one is wrong. Need to agree to disagree. Have a blessed day with your win...............

Caren, thanks for the visit and compliment, yes, that is a quality that I admired about my husband that we could debate and never get angry with each other, he is almost impossible to replace ~ love and serenity _Constance

Hi Constance, It sounds like you and your dear husband had a wonderful relationship. I totally agree; life would be boring if folk never had disagreements. My motto is “ agree” to disagree. You have an healthy “ narcotic.” Best wishes in the contest. Have a wonderful day:-)Alexis
