Fix (Senryu)

Addiction

needle into vein,

injecting my needed fix,

head nodding slowly.

Author's Note

Yes I have an addicted personality and have worked with many addicts of many substances, but no I have not gone down that rabbit hole. Thanks

Very vivid are your words here Wilard. I am glad that I read your Authors review and you haven't gone down the rabbit hole.

[Willard Wells]

Often writing is very personal and I knew I needed to clarify this in advance. I have seen it a number of times and spent time with many who have addictions that use a needle. Once you go to a needle, your pretty far gone. If you don't correct your path it is a path to one thing, DEATH. Thanks for the review and commenting.

needles, eating, body image, smoking, drinking, the whole gamut of human addiction, wrapped neatly in a senryu... well-said, Willard

[Willard Wells]

Thank you kind sir. I appreciate the words and review of my work.

[ANTO]

it makes one wonder sometimes just who is in charge -
Contemplative piece here Will. Keep up the good work.

[Willard Wells]

Thank Anto. Appreciate your words and time with my work.

Funny how addiction is a shot away
And a nod into another world

pretty much applies to everything we use nowadays

makes you wonder our ways of labeling an addict

We kind of all are on something in some way or another

Witty write

[Willard Wells]

Being as I have stated an addictive personality, which just means my additions are more noticeable, we are all addicted. The best an addict can do is find the lesser of all evils to be addicted to. One drag off a cigarette gives you a dopamine hit within 8 seconds. As bad as they are they are a lesser form form addiction. Thank you for visiting my work.

You need to fix your author's note, Will

It is a frightening thing. I remember watching shows about it on TV and seeing how their addictions robbed them of life as well as health. I'm sure they feel as though they're in hell.

[Willard Wells]

And that feeling takes them back for another round. I once heard a description from an addict that stuck with me. He said the feeling is like your mother wrapping her arms around you and holding you close to keep you warm. Now that's Heroin and beyond that are many others substances injected into the arm or anywhere else of an addict. Thank you for taking time to read and comment on my work.

[Bare trees]

Wow, I've never heard that said before. No wonder so many are fooled by it. You're welcome.

You are indeed fast becoming the Sultan of senyru with another quite poignant offering in a snack sized poem Willard

[Willard Wells]

Thank you John. I have been working on longer pieces, but in a lull, I fall into it again. Appreciate the kind words.
