POETRY: an addiction Am I addicted to poetry? I am sure I will have to say yes. If I spend most time writing poems, Addiction is the right term I guess. Waking, I switch on my computer To view the coments on what I write. Then I start writing fresh poems for Entering the contests which invite. It often happens when I lie down, I think of a phrase or of a line That looks tantalizingly proper For growing into a poem fine, Then I just can’t continue with sleep. I get up and switch on my computer. I just start pounding on the keyboard, A poem in rhyme shapes up proper. What is this if not addiction hot? Of this addiction, I’m ashamed not. * Written in abcb, 9-9-9-9 format. * Written for the "Invalid Item" , “ Addiction Alley” Contest • Related poems: • "Invalid Entry" • "THE SECRET OF MY POEMS--Editor's choice" • REQUEST—While reviewing, please copy and paste the following in your review: This is a review for “entry:467803".
