Notes About The Poem

Infatuation

i have an addiction
i can’t shake
it has me craving
day and night

this obsession
i can’t control
it’s overtaken
my very soul

to no avail
i try to wean
from dawn to midnight
new verses yearn to write
sometimes they’re witty
most times they’re silly

my muse finds it
quite amusing
that I suffer so
from this condition

it’s driving me
around the bend
i’m at my wits’ end
don’t even pretend
to comprehend
