Ebriosity


I crave, as thirst, or an addiction
Hold fast the thread of my affliction
For downward echoes taunt and leave
Abandon me in time of need

The habit I have tried to shake
When I succumb to guilt's mistake
Consumed, with blinders on my sense
I then indulge with feined pretense

I give it minutes of my day
It gobbles hours, gone astray
To kidnaps days, the hostage week
Resistance to the pull oblique

Our bond is not an equal one
For I alone, crave it, as sun
Indifference to my state of being
Contentment drifts in shadows fleeting

Does my narcotic have a name
This plague that taunts me in it's game
You know dear reader, I"m sure you see
The high of writing.......poetry

Who's your street stanza dealer? Sounds like you have the linguistic shakes, friend. 'Pen! Pen! I must have a pen!' she cries. 'Ah, I know who you need':
Sings, 'Heh, Mr Tambourine man, play a song for me...etc etc'
(We all know who this man was don't we?)

High, higher, highest, bliss indeed.

Had to get a spell checker, but this one's classical gas. Loved every clever little word.

Ha! I love this. I too roll them up in my bathroom corners, breathe them in with gulping lungs, and exhale slowly-- tasting each syllable--assonance and alliterations stream from my nose-- my eyes water... MORE! MORE! MORE!

The sad part is, a pax, there's no hope for us bardiholics. So long as its relatively cheap, and the quality is good, I'm afraid we're in to the finish. The good part, though, is that I hear AD is a great place to come-- talk about poetry-- get it out in the open, you know, and vent.

See ya around... --Charlie

EFFORTLESS BRILLIANCE!!! You give me such a hunger for fat rhymes and juicy metre... my own meagre diet leaves me wasting. My personal ebriosity is an in-ebriosity of wordplay and shadowlands which can only admire your healthy poetic curves. I reckon I shall have to indulge in some hyperbolic steroids to improve my performance (don't mind me... have the paralympics on my mind!!) I have so missed you and your whacky Biogs. Hope you're well, Darlin. Kate xx

Anita ...
This flows well and has a good message. I agree too - there is some kind of a high in the process. Of course how high the high gets depends on the subject matter. There are some poetic writes that will never be anything except a cathartic.

I pray all is well ...

Okay I had to look up ebriosity but enjoyed this very much. I don't know what happened to my desire to write but it is not there anymore.

Anita, this is so endearing, as is all of your work. And, having recently lost one of my best friends (Deanna Love) on Aug 25, 2008, I definitely need this light-hearted treat! Blessings. -- Jeff
