Marty Owens Poet Free verse

What???

I need it all the time
I hunt for it.
I advertise for it.
I answer ads for it.
Anyone else need it as badly as I do?
Oh I'm sure there are a few of you
that would do as I have done and
maybe even worse.
But you can only go so long.
Then that urge will catch up with you again.
This is a never ending thing.
You have it maybe three or four times a day. 
Maybe more.  Who knows what each person's 
need's are but themselves?
But you sleep and get refreshed and BOING!!
There it is again!  That urge!!!
And that urge gets greater everyday!
"Oh sure," you say to yourself, "it will soon pass!'
RIGHT!!!!!  That need is only satisfied
if you find it and have it!
And have it more than once a day!
I'll bet if I took a survey, more than likely
all of you would confess.  You say,
"Not me!" but believe me!!!  You have!
And I can prove it if I have too!
Please don't ask me what it is,
because if you do, I'll have to explain 
this poem and that's something I could
never do. This poem gives me the willies,
as it should you.  GO AHEAD AND ASK!!
JUST DO IT!!  And see what answer you 
get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Linda Witt-King February 27, 2010 at 9:22 PM It must be chocolate. What else could possibly inspire such passion? (big smile)

Linda-Marie Sweetheart February 27, 2010 at 7:59 PM The write of an intensely passionate poet.. and u don't have to ask me twice.. being a red blooded Italian chickie... I know what your dilemma is... and I feel for u Marty dear.. no release if pure torture... a good entry for the new contest ..if so.. good luck.. this is too too FUN... read Robb Knopp's newest Senryu.. I thought he had a hidden camera in my home..getting ready to go out for some dancing and I read this and flipped with laughter.. as they say ..if the shoe fits...and so on..luv..

Carolyn Devonshire February 27, 2010 at 7:59 PM Well, I thought I had the answer, but three or four times a day??? OK, guess you're just talking about needing a cup of coffee, right Marty? Just kidding. Now calm down, take a nap and see if you "get refreshed and BOING!!" Loving this one! Carolyn
