The Prescription

Once you've got the writing bug, you'll know it. It's not like other ailments you've had. Instead of getting over it, you're composing. When you find you're popping out posies almost daily - then you've got it bad! Doctor says, "NEVER STOP." Just write and write and write. Best advice I can give.

The poetry bug is not a "he," silly guy. It's a "condition!!" heehee. You remember this contest by Linda? Are you kidding with me tonight, Kash?

And because you were bitten other souper's are smitten.." its just not fair to put this bug in the air..no doubt a carouse of litt:) is your list on the hit.." i'm cautiously scanning the sky; concerned that my verbiage might in full force just stop by; no..! i can't take the suspense & what it might "present in this tense" my toning is honing to my travel agent i'm phoning,, to get to bermuda much sooner..)
