Am I living a delusion, for I have a mania, a verbo grapho obsession oh yes, I have a fixation for words and writing . . . sometimes I am wrapped in melancholia free-floating in strangeness euphoria is when I am writing necro unhinged, perhaps maybe I just have this urge to pen death after all death has been my best friend since forever it seems . . . but in general this writing madness is my daily thirst I must feed my passion my compulsion, my ravings in nature I get lost in my mind I have a fancy for flowing streams and quiet forests where birds sing insanity . . . my ink must fall on white daily or I am sure madness will invade oh, lunacy may not be far off oh, that is silly these fits of mania are just the hunger and need of a writer . . . ___________________ October 20, 2017 Poetry/Free Verse/Feeding My Passion Copyright Protected, ID 18-9511-76-0 All Rights Reserved.

Interesting write... almost stream of consciousness to mimic that "mania" mindset. Nicely done - good luck with the contest. Regards, John.

Love this Broken Wings 7 Deluded you are definitely not. This poem describes the very reason to write. You are not alone this is what I took from reading your poem. Devoid of passion is meaningless this is fearless

"...these fits of mania are just/the hunger and need of/a writer..." those last three lines are so perfect I know them to be very real, as I feel it too to be that way! I surely enjoyed this incredible write my friend! What a brilliant poem, so filled with emotion and passion that I felt every word of it! As I'm similar, I'm also quite different too! We are writers of our own veracity, such a wondrous piece Constance, Great Work!!
