The Poetic Illness

What is this driving force
That tells me I must write?
Why do my thoughts in rhyme compose?
What is this Poet's sight?
What is this sickness I've contracted?
For I am deathly ill
I never seem to write enough
The pages never fill
But if this sickness has a cure
Please take it far away
And let me die from poet's heart
For it is here to stay

Ah... an illness indeed. Especially in your case, cousin.
Don't die yet.

Because oftentimes the only way to make the world make sense is to put it into verse and rhyme.
Things are always clearer when set onto paper or magnetic ink.

It's like you wrote down what's in my heart in that poem. I've searched for words such as those, yet yours seem much more adequate. Glad I'm not the only one. (though, I knew since you stoaked that passion of mine!)
Take care,
Carrie (no pun intented) |

| This is so sad. I liked it though. I feel the same way about my writing. I can't stop. I don't know how to stop. Excellent work. *S* Cynthia |

Funny - though it's not contagious, we all suffer the same wretched disease. A lab test? A diagnosis? A cure? Who needs it! Let the fever rage!!!!!
A great write - and OBVIOUSLY something we all can relate to!

Fantastic one, David.
Lots of love and peace be with you,

It's like a glorious obsession or addiction that asks for no cure. Even when the words wake me and demand to be written, I am thankful for each and every one. Another fantastic write. One of my favorites so far.
