Circle of Addiction


Author’s Notes: For this writing I tried a different type of poem called the ABC poem. Each line starts with the next letter in the alphabet. Through this effect I was trying to give a sense of a symbolic circle. During the reading we soon realized Jekyll was going back to Hyde in shorter and shorter amounts of time almost as if an addiction. Addictions always go in circles because the first time is never enough so the keep going like the alphabet and the process keeps going just like the alphabet repeats.

An explosion of emotions erupts through the soul
Blank easels permeated with the colors of frustration and happiness
Cackling to himself, reminiscing on previous convulsions
Demons devour dreams devising dread
Employing evil thoughts human mind naturally intrigued
Fracas against these sins languidly eradicate
Gremlins concocting ideas of evil create repetition
Humans start to thrive the demon inside
Illness rapidly consumes the soul and the other half takes control
Just as the battle is almost over the goodness shines through
