I'M Addicted To Poetry

I'm addicted to poetry
breathing every word
every sylable is a new world
there's never enough
writing makes 
my whole world bright
makes everything okay
for a few fleeting moments
then more is needed

It's an obsession
that no one could believe
it's my obsession
in poems I dream

writing changes me 
untill the words just come out
rhymes in my mind
that I know nothing about

I cannot stop it
and I don't want it to stop
it's scary, serreal
not somthing I can controlle
it's beyond comprehension

Im addicted to poetry

I am a fellow Canadian and I share your addiction. It has been 5 hours and 14 minutes since I wrote my last poem. My name is Richard Lamoureux and I am a Poem-aholic. I enjoyed your poem Anne!

Perfectly said. Just letting it come out helps so many ways, like you said. Enjoyable poem, for sure.
