I Am a Poem Popper

I am a poem popper

Poetry is the drug for me
A perpetual habit
Shared with select company

I am a poem popper

I have been since the age of three
Me and Seuss go way back
By eight hooked on Dennis Lee

I am a poem popper

Addicted to the musicality
High on wit and wisdom
Dependent on a healing property

I am a poem popper

Where this is going... Obviously
My habit led to writing
Call it manifest destiny

I am a poem popper

Poetry set my mind free
Boasting the gamut of human experience
The crux of empathy


Pop me

I am surprised how many people write poetry and take it very serious. I'm glad I joined poetrysoup. I am reading a few of your poems every week. They're great. Have a good day.

I saw that show .wow! If you dig gross_ this is for you. A full body autopsy in petson is not as horrid as that show. And I rarely get grossed out. Maureen's poem is phenomenal. Panagiota
