Addicted Poem by Melanie Emikohe

Addicted

Rating: 5.0


Obsessed with a thought
teasing, he daunts
some divine sleeps,
postpones a feast,
and skips meals.

for no day's plenty
to fulfill that budding dough
of idle verses
lurking in his head,
whistling, enticing!

Pale, scrawny, and hungry;
looked upon with pity;
is it proven he's unhappy?
Been addicted to life,
too large to chew.

Great ending, Melanie, life is too large to chew... imagine trying to swallow. Well done! Brian
