Notes About The Poem

[9 is not PRIME Poetry Contest hosted by Suzette Richards]

Addiction

flying
on the wings
of euphoria
seduced by transient desire
love-struck Icarus falls to abysmal depths

Thank you, Eileen. I rarely take part in contests nowadays, though I do use some to tickle my muse (in this unbearable heat she feels the lack of energy). Warm regards, my friend. // paul
