Word Junkie

I gave up the coffee
the cigarettes, the booze
this one last addiction
I can't seem to loose

I can no longer control
this obsession I feed
putting words onto paper
now consumes me with need

This pen is my needle
a word junkie's curse
the paper is screaming
for it's injection of verse

able flow....seemless and effective; I'm not a devoted rhyme fan, simply through the samey feel it can induce, but I think you did a suitable job, albeit not exactly stretching boundaries, but nicely polished...

Yeh, totally, very well put, so much so it just worked its way on to my fav's, i find myself thinking of this site at the most inappropriate times, I guess that's what comes with having a passionate textual mistress.

I think all poets are word junkies ha...well I hope you don't loose this addiction...I really liked this...it had a good flow...though I think you could have made this just a little bit longer...otherwise you did a nice job :)
