opium is a metaphor
for compulsive writing
prolific writers
be they poets
novelists dramatists
screenwriters
are writer addicts
compulsively addicted
to creative process
fishing hunting
caught words writing
is writ drug fix candy
stale writer's block
stump withdrawals
low no buzz
writing euphoric high
words lines mind images
are the trip the journey towards
completed themes concepts
poems stories plays
word addicts write
interpretation analysis
we may leave to readers critics
specific themes
styles emotive images
define concepts
may hook readers fans
who willingly come forth
to seek share written ride
