Notes About The Poem

Poetry Addiction

I can’t get enough 
I must have more 
I want more, I need more 

More, more, more!

It’s what sustains me now 
It’s what keeps me going 
It’s what I must have to live 

Keep ‘em coming!

It feeds my soul and tames my demons 
I’m a better person because of it 
It frees my spirit 

The good, the bad and the ugly.  I love it all!!!

It doesn’t give me the shakes or hangovers 
Though sometimes I drool in anticipation 
For an injection of enlightenment 

You set me free!

I am a poetryaholic 
I’m a poetry junky 
I’m addicted and I need ...

More, more, more, and more!

I’ve replaced all my bad habits 
With this new obsession 
With you, I’ll never need rehab 

Thanks for sharing!

"It feeds my soul and tames my demons I’m a better person because of it It frees my spirit " I can sense your deep addiction to poetry. Many of us poets are addicted to it. It will annihilate all other negative passions in us. It will make us light, always soaring on the wings of imagination. Keep writing away, dear friend.
