Do you have an addiction?

Question

Addicted

Some are hooked on cocaine's dust,

And some on crack's strong smoke.

Addiction can hit anyone,

But that stuff makes me choke.

But even now I find myself,

Addicted have become.

I get euphoric now and then,

I crave to get me some.

I am addicted to the words,

That's written on this page.

The words that's put here every day,

By such a lovely sage.

Without those words I am depressed,

My heart sinks and I sigh.

But let her post a few more words,

It hits euphoric high.

Each day when I awake anew,

In bed where I have lain.

I think, "Please let me see some more,

From poet called Elaine"

Answer 1

OH! How very, very sweet!! She'll love it and so do I.

At this point I crave "words" from anyone to pop into my inbox! (How sad is that!)

Answer 2

nice poem. the first line summed up my life a few months ago. but like anyone with an addictive personality ive replaced one addiction with another

Answer 3

Wow... seeing as everyone else has said so many good things I don't have anything left to say, you might want to consider changing the 'that's' to something else. That's means that is, so 'I am addicted to the words/That is written on this page/the words that is put here every day/by such a lovely sage."

I'm not sure what to do, heheh, That are might sound too long.

Answer 4

A lovely expression to Elaine, and all addictive personalities,

Sometimes called hobbies, life style, rituals, routine, habit,

or which ever we care to label, over indulgence to our defeat

or sweet smell of sucess!   "Ain't we got fun." I wonder?

Interesting poem of thoughts as always, Dondi, Kudos.

Answer 5

I'm addicted to chewing gum and bubble gum......i consume waayyy to many daily...lol

Answer 6

I, too, am addicted to the words written by the wonderful poets.  Elaine is a favorite of mine.  This is a lovely, thoughtful poem for her.

Answer 7

Wow! Now i really wish i'm Elaine...hehe. Nah...i also log on answers regularly to read her poems.

By the way, i'm addicted to fried food, cheesecake and egg tarts. =)

Answer 8

Whoa, that was good. I'm addicted to shoes, starbucks, and food.

Answer 9

interesting..

I had a really close friend hooked on meth. I couldn't understand it. But then it was pointed out that I should stop drinking my daily Coca-Cola.. and I couldn't do it.

I think I'm addicted to my caffeine. If I try to stop, I get horribly physical effects & it's not worth it. I think everyone is slightly addicted to something.

That's a good poem, cause it's true.. you think "addiction can hit anyone" and then:: "but even now I find myself addicted have become". It's somehow 'different' when *you* are the one with the problem.. it suddenly becomes not so easy to quit.

Answer 10

I share your addiction, Dondi!

Answer 12

Interesting poem on addiction.From coke to crack to the written word.

I am addicted to my daily cup of tea and the Y/Ans for now.

Answer 13

All the Poets of Mars are addicted to poetry and to each other. I fear we will have to check the "See More From Your Contacts" command in our profiles for yet another day, as there are no indications of fellow poets in my inbox yet again.

This is a wonderful poem, as are all your poems and I do, indeed, love it.

Answer 14

Hey, You.....What about me?  I'm plumb jealous of this obvious favouritism.  And there was me thinking I was the only woman in your life.  Dagnabbit!!  Lovely poem...I bet she will treasure it.  (Is this chatting?  Don't care)
