Marlboro Man . . . ? ~~~ Who can say as the day dream lingers Why the dream stays close as the daylight cinders Then tarries . . . on 'n on to an oil lamp's flicker Timely shadows dance a pungent haze growing thicker ~ Though its' hunger intrigues me . . . Its' addiction bereaves me Who can say why it shimmers slaves my sense even breathes me Should I bask in its' grace . . . To what end will it leave me ~~~ |

Clever write....I should send this to my dad who doesn't believe I understand what he goes through when he quits. All he sees is me nagging him  Enjoyed it, ~Krista  "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. |

hmmm, I guess I wouldn't have understood this without the comments, but I think partly it is my last poem, The Versifier, that is causing the confusion, on another board, I got the comment on it "Marlborough Man" and so then to equate this poem with that thought just doesn't go...lol...and yep have missed your writings, nice to see you back |

Lady in White ... you've got that right ... I quit 3 and 1/2 years ago, but it's still a constant battle with 'reason' to ignore the urge to try one occasionally I've talked to people who've quit for over 20 years and they still frequently have urges to light up ... What can be in this stuff to be able to control a person so completely ? SmittenKitten ... Praise sure beats nagging, but remember that sometimes a person is so irritated when quiting that they misinterpret the praise Thankyou Constance ... glad you liked it jellybeans ... It's 'bean' a while since I've seen you in here as well, good to hear fron you Denise ... I think it's one of those perpetual quests ... many answers needed, but none ever satisfy the indecision to quit Thanks Kit ... this is the second time I've quit for over 3 years ... this time I'll make it ( I will not start again ) Good to hear from you too. Remember to call me if you decide to put in a pond |
