My Full Blown Addiction


A new full blown addiction
ls now what l  possess
Which has entirely captured my body and soul 
Its intense hold…. mere words cannot express

Five months now since it started
Yet it is completely out of control
It is all l can think about 
Embedded eternally in my soul

This desire and longing is unbearable
The deep need for it is above all other
I must get my fix come what may
If not …what desperate measures it may uncover?

I believe my addiction is with me forever 
For my life ,its entirety and no shorter 
I must confess that my addiction is
My beautiful five month old  granddaughter!!

Dear Deb, a beautiful addiction and addition to your precious family. Congratulations for your treasured granddaughter! Your rhyme expresses the feeling of being instantly hooked and the depth of your unconditional love so wonderfully, building the suspense to reveal the 'addiction' in such a vibrant, heartwarming way. I certainly understand where you're coming from, my sweet poet friend. Warmest wishes for a joyous 2025.. ~Susan

Lovely poem, Deb.. and I get it. But be forewarned… get in lots of cheap ice lollies (popsicles?) and hide the fancy ice cream cones with a chocolate flake in…. Cos they only eat half of the damn thing and the rest melts on your sofa. Enjoy ;-)

I was intrigued right to the end, Ded- as to what you had become addicted too. Luckily, nothing harmful. Congratulations on being a grandparent. So lucky. SuZ

Aww…love this! My youngest of 6 is already 10 years old. Enjoy the sweet scent, the brush of soft cheeks, the cradle hold, falling asleep with her in your arms, the first words, smiles and teeth…I could go on… Hugs, congrats, Happy New Year!

Most likely 6. My D-I-L has breast c. I don’t think they were having more anyway. Oldest daughter was told she’s done and my youngest I don’t think so either. So probably great-grands, and that will be diff. LOL. I am so happy and thrilled that I’ve hd this time! Truly blessed! Enjoy the journey!
