GET TRIPPY WITH ME!!!

Image result for beautiful images of tripping on drugs

LSD, Ecstasy, Vicodin, Meth; I've done none of these - not even weed! My dealer is a muse who pushes poetry. I get high on rhyme, tripping on words swirling colors in my mind.

I have to admit a little surprise at seeing the title to this one... wait, what would clean-cut Andrea know about colorful drugs. Then I saw the trippy pictures and wondered if there was a side to you I knew nothing about, haha. Well, I've done none of those drugs (not even weed) either, so I relate to this and love your tweaking the metaphor to be about words as your drug of choice and the muse as your dealer "pushing poetry". This is easily my favorite of all your Sijos and going in my faves. Thank you for enlightening me to this form, dear friend!

By contrast, I've experienced most of these, now preferring to read, and write on the joys of unaltered states. We may have the same muse now

This was ingenious Andrea and it got you a first place win! Congratulations on your win. I didn't do this contest because I can't write about what I have never experienced with conviction. I loved your take on it. #7 ; ) Smart girl!

I almost got high on these pictures. A friend mixed LSD with pot one time and I was gone in a fantasy nightmare - my one and only time with drugs. I called the poem, Lace Mary Jane. This should win the contest easily. LOve, daver
