Eileen Manassian Poet Quatrain

No, No, No

Shoot it in
Shoot it high
In my stream
Or I'll die

Poem drug
Just for me
Shooting up
Constantly

Poem fix
Take me high
A good trip
Paint the sky

Oh, what sweet...
ECSTACY
Taste of real...
FANTASY

All is cool
All is fine
Druggie girl
Likes her rhyme

Powered words
Potent praise
Under tongue
What a daze!

No rehab
Not for me
Got some more?
Yes, it’s free

Overdose?
No, no way
Double hit…
Starts my day

YOU’RE my drug
Can’t you see?
And your name?
Poetry!

Paul Callus July 18, 2014 at 5:56 AM I love it when you're on a high, Eileen! How can you ever think of abandoning poetry!! You live by it, it nourishes you, and we're lucky that we can taste it, too. // paul
