Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

My Amphetamine

Enantiomers do not make my amphetamine.
No cognitive enhancers do I need.
Don’t bother giving me that crazy Benzedrine.
Imagination was my mind’s first seed.

I need no extra sleep; I’m sufficiently awake.
I”m not depressed; no euphoriant for me!
My needs are met; I sure want nothing fake.
I get high on life and poetry!

Kai Michael Neumann April 19, 2019 at 3:40 AM Poetry as amphetamine. I never thought about it like that. But when I have not written anything for a day, I feel somewhat empty. Happy Easter, Kai

Richard Lamoureux April 16, 2019 at 8:43 AM Based on your number of poems there is clear evidence that you are addicted. You chose your addiction well.

M. L. Kiser April 15, 2019 at 8:40 PM We're all much better off without the chemical brain-benders. Well penned. Good luck with the contest.
