Jean Murray Poet Verse

That Colourful Drug

That colourful drug, love.
Phenomenal pheromones.
Give me love potion No.9.
It works devine.

That colourful drug, alcohol.
I want to drink it all.
In moderation of course.
Along with the main course.

That colourful drug, prozac.
For those anxiety attacks.
Get my life back.
I'm on the right track.

That colourful drug,E.
A strange one to me.
Missed out on a drug scene,
when I was teenage beauty queen.

That colourful drug, weed.
Home grown from seed.
Kept my husband sedated.
His sexual appetite abated.

That colourful drug, fun.
Let's have some.
Jump in my car.
We'll travel far.

That colourful drug, laughter.
Is the one I'm after.
Best medicine, so addictive.
The perfect fixative.

Janice Canerdy June 5, 2016 at 8:25 PM Very creative, Jean. Congrats on your win. Janice Jean Murray June 6, 2016 at 5:25 AM What started me off was the Roxy Music song Love Is The Drug. A crossing over of the arts, so to speak Janice. Thank you.

Connie Marcum Wong June 5, 2016 at 4:17 PM I love your favorite drug, laughter! It helps in almost any situation. When I am suffering a calamity, I have to laugh. It helps. When I fell down the stairs on my crutches I laughed at myself for losing my balance. It is so great to see this poem at the top of the winner's list Jean. A really great write! Congratulations!#7 ; ) Jean Murray June 6, 2016 at 5:21 AM Connie, my mother suffered badly with sciatica. One day, like you she lost her balance on the stairs and landed on her bottom. The sciatica vanished. The orthopaedic consultant explained the sciatic nerve had been caught in it's passage through the pelvis, the jolt dislodging it!
