A Case of Poetitis I’ve got Poetitis It’s a chronic dread disease And Versitis which is painful When my mind is not at ease There’s Readers Syndrome, Critics Cramp And Moderators Mal And Passion Webaholics Who must daily make a pal There’s Sonnetitis, Keyboarditis Then there’s Midnight Muse Open Seven Misery and Teen and Mentor Blues Corner Pubaholics Who are somehow quarantined Dark Passion Psychotics And a ward that’s just for Teens There are as many illnesses As poets on the net That Free Verse Fever is but one I haven’t caught as yet Pray you never suffer Villanella Poisoning Besides Acrostic substances There’s no more painful thing I wish my sinuses Quadrain This scene is getting old Haiku!, Haiku! excuse me! But I think I’ve caught a cold Please pass the tissues here - Haiku! Ghazaltite! and may God bless you! Liz |

Janet Marie, You are so cute. I really had to laugh at your response You are too much! Balladeer, Somehow I knew you'd be in on this. Yeh, I'm going into detox for a little while, so this is my last poem. Be back in a few weeks Liz |

Dear Liz, I have been in denial for so long...now, thanks to you, I realize that I am an addict....addicted to poetry, and the magic of getting high off free verse...and I don't want to quit. This is a super poem, my friend...and my heart will be with you while you're gone...oh, and God bless you! |

This is delightful, Elizabeth! Now where is that next Villanelle that I have been waiting for? You really must finish out the months sometime. They would make a wonderful collection. Denise |

Sy, Thank you, dear friend, I'm facing withdrawal here Martie, I knew you were hooked a long time ago. But the way you're producing poetry right now, I'm afraid there's no cure. Denise, There are villanelles on my hard drive. Thanks to you. I'll be in touch as soon as I can. Things are a little hectic right now Thank you, dear Shari, Thanks for the read. It was fun to write, and I like having fun Thank you Liz |

Busy Lizzie~ Thank you for the diagnosis. I'm headed for the cure. Taking two rhymes with rhythm and hoping to meet you in the moor. Be well, be serene, my dear friend. Love and hugs to you and Tony. God bless. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I have a little jacket of white with many discriminating little straps my husband kept it out of sight I only use it when I nap. For these fingers itch and itch in my sleep I start to roll and pitch for that dread disease...writer's block ticks in my head like a loud, loud clock. Now I see I'm not alone, nay for Santos here, she has had her say, so to her, I will over-night my little strappy jacket of white! &^%$# Great job, Elizabeth...grinning widely here, I am! |

Elizabeth, I love it! You have made me laugh for the first time today. I wonder, if you constantly suffer from all of the above, does that make you a hyPOETchondriac? If so I guess I am............

I love it! Very creative, I must go read more of your writing!! ~Kellsue  [purple]Reflect upon your present blessings-of which every man has many-not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. ~Charles Dickens We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. ~Winston Churchill[/purple] |
