Francine Roberts Poet Rhyme

My Passion, My Weakness, My Vice

You're the first thing I think of
When I awake.
Without you to greet me,
My heart it would break.

We share our morning
Before I leave for the day
And I think of you often
While I'm away.

The scent of you arouses
Feelings so deep.
You're the last thing I think of
Before drifting to sleep.

You are me addiction,
My weakness, my vice.
Life without you
Wouldn't be very nice.

I want you, I need you,
Like blood and like air.
I couldn't picture me
Without you there.

And if you still wonder 
What has overpowered me,
My love, my passion
Is a strong cup of coffee.



for Drake Eszes "I Just Can't Live Without You" contest

Andrea Dietrich March 4, 2011 at 11:23 PM hey, I see Carolyn and you are discussing the same topic. I feel like I am going nutso. There are still three other contests I am trying to be ready for. hahaha. Hey , you did great with this entry by the way. Best of luck in his contest!

Carolyn Devonshire March 4, 2011 at 10:36 PM Andrea and I discussed that tonight. With the large number of contests, people who try to read and comment often just can't find the time. Just had to vent a bit. I need a break from writing and want to just read for a while. Still, I want to be supportive of nice new folks like Drake who are excited about hosting contests. Wish we could limit the number of contests running at one time so we could pay more attention to each of them. Now it's pick and choose. Love, Carolyn

Carolyn Devonshire March 4, 2011 at 10:32 PM LOL You had me going, Francine. I thought for sure you were talking about a lover. Very nice twist. Drake will enjoy this too. Best wishes in his contests. Sooo many contests and so little time to write. I don't think many of the folks who entered my contest read what I was looking for, but you and a few others did. Lots of great entries, but most are off topic and that's not something I'm going to mention to participants. Have you noticed people are writing more and reading less?
