At last I find the stuff I seek – Enough
Cocaine to last a week – and I would give it all to you – ‘Cause it’s
Raining down like silver
Ocean tides will ebb and flow
Sunsets grab and won’t let go – I take
Taxi rides to nowhere – without you
I feel nothing – I don’t know what’s true
Cause I numb the pain with this Cocaine – trying to forget you

It’s all good Ms Rose – I’m just playing with the WordPress Poetry school. Today’s assignment was “Gift” in acrostic form including a simile.
How’d I do?

There was no link, so…
My apologies.

I haven’t found the secret way to link yet. I’ve been putting my url on the space they reserved for those of us who are participating but with almost 7000 views today alone I feel that I’m lost in the crowd. Not sure how long I’m going to participate.
Today was day 2 – my post “Camouflage” was day 1.

Your poem expresses the feeling of emptiness very well. Thanks for sharing.

No, no! You keep on doin’ the poetry thang. Though, I think tomorrow’s prompt might be a challenge. But, if you can swing it, I say go for it. See if you can’t get 7001!

I like the trippyness of this. Not that I’m a rabid coke user (!) but I can imagine the carousel ride gong round and round in this persons head here. Nice atmosphere.

If you find that link secret, lemme know!
I like how we each took an aspect of the assignment for our acrostic–but your poem is much more entertaining. I don’t believe I’ve read an ode to cocaine before!

I found this in the commons. I believe this is where we should link to. I copied it into the html view of my post editor.
