Could you say I’m addicted to poetry? Yes! Recently, I told myself I needed to limit how many poetry books I buy or acquire because I have so many unread on my poetry bookshelf right now. (Yes, I have a poetry bookshelf - don’t you?!?)
As I’ve taken time to begin sorting through things at home and at work, I’ve been looking at what I need to keep and what I don’t. Same for the rest of the things in life: such as eating and online!
I have been trying to give up certain foods for some time - you know the ones that taste good but that are so bad for you. I have had a bit of luck with it, but it is hard.
The hardest thing for me to give up so far is not poetry, but soft drinks! Yes, they are addictive - or really the sugar is. I never drank the diet ones.
I have spent the last week giving up this addiction of mine. I’ll see if it sticks!
Examine what works. Examine what doesn’t.
Sometimes, it’s time to realize, like I did with soda, you don’t need it to live. Poetry, however, I do need to live ....I just have to space out my purchases more so I have time to actually read the poetry I buy!
