Ode To Sig Sigmond Arettes

I was a young adolescent,in love with Sig, To me he was bigger than Big. For him I had an insatiable crave'n. Knew him so well,his sweet li'l maven. Day after day,hour after hour. I am weak and succumb to his power. My family said Sig is evil and dark. Sigmond Arettes is my light;my spark. Friends knew Sig as ominous and grim. I know Sigmond;I'm addicted to him. The addiction goes on,year after year. For Sigmond Arettes I shed many a tear. I would hold him with love,with care. It was a love that Sig did not share. He just sat back;watched me decay. Sig is still young,I'm old and gray. I grasp at Sig LET'S MAKE IT QUICK!. Youknow Iknow:you know I'm sick. One last time;I know I shall regret. Good-bye Sigmond,SIG Arettes.

I agree with the other comments on here. Very cleverly written. I'm sorry; I tried to get onto the chatroom, but it isn't working for me. It would be a honor to chat with you. You are a great, talented poet. Always, Laura

Clever name for the worst poison on Earth, what on Earth is in the mind of a smoker, must be self distructive, but great minds smoke so , just an awful addiction. Great poem, I have many on that subject, Cigs distroyed my Irish roots from the first tobacco field my ancesters worked in. This hits home hard, thanks for sharring. Judy Riley
