ODE:'POETRY, MY ADDICTION!' BY MUMTAZ PARAMOLE

My addiction...

oh my addiction!

My feelings, I scribble 

My heartaches, I doodle

My pen, I wiggle.

My addiction 

Comes in free verse

Sometimes,

My thoughts are in reverse

And sometimes

It’s just a blank verse.

My addiction

Poetry that may be in dissonance 

Or when I’m playing around, consonance

When I’m in love with vowels, assonance.

My addiction 

Yes! In poetry, I’m intoxicated 

Blissful lines from a souls that’s dead 

And in all of the ecstasy, your soul, enchanted.

My addiction 

Writing

My addiction 

Poetry

My addiction 

Scribbling my emotions

Sad or happy

In love or heartbroken 

In tears or ecstatic

Poetry is my addiction.

Or maybe it is more than an addiction

Maybe it is a condition

A gift to express my emotions

Pen on paper, constantly in motion

Colorfully breathing life into words, without exhalation.

POETRY, YES, THAT’S MY ADDICTION!!!

- Mumtaz Paramole (MumtazThePoet)
