A Poet's Disease Poem by Amanda Shelton

A Poet's Disease



I sat with much contentment,
for I am happiest when I write.

All my might
goes into the night,
with every word,
I began to write.

My shadow play's
as my poet craves,
and my words are engraved
upon the writer's block.

Soon word's will play
as I write the plot.

The poet I am,
the dreadful lot,
dried up my thoughts.

Nevermore will I deplore
such illusion upon your life,
instead I will cut like a knife
into your mind,
there I will set forever allure,
nothing but shallow word's,
yet still my poetic heart fell
into a poet's disease,
with such passion I fell deeply.

I do adore word's
and there I was lost.

I fell to my knees,
as poetry devoured me.
