I Am Addicted To Poetry

I am addicted to poetry
but not to drugs
I lick pen's ink
I thirst for art
poems are delicious
they drug me to the core
until I am hospitalized
without my medical aid
there is no special attention
I die
a poet
not a drug addict.

Maybe we can choose our form of death...but I feel addicted to the school of poetry, so I can relate to your poem. All the best Drencho
