Addiction for M lady Christine

Sonnet in tetrameter

 

Addiction

 

I’ll exercise self discipline.

Today I will not write a word.

I have decided it’s no sin.

This constant scribbling’s absurd.

I choose a book and start to read

but then some phrase enraptures me.

Quite suddenly I feel the need

I have to write and urgently,

Before my train of thought is lost

I find my pad take up my pen

 and writing in the style of Frost.

I find I’m scribbling again.

My muse cannot contain her glee.

She knows that she’s in charge not me.
