Janice Canerdy Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

                             September 8, 2025, entered in Rob Carmack's Drug Contest

                                     *************************************************************

Ecstasy

Eve and Aiden, both 16, gave in to temptation to try the "hug drug."
Cuddling and kissing ceased when she succumbed to the drug,
Suffering an unusually bizarre reaction--just shy of death.
Two weeks later, unharmed by the drug but guilt-ridden,
Aiden sat by her hospital bed staring at the murmuring machines,
Silently praying for her recovery and for forgiveness. Eve and Aiden--
Young virgins who took a foolhardy risk to satisfy curiosity!
