Quicksilver Infections

Atakti I love this clever write yes I know I'm definitely infected with this poetic illness :) great inking!!! with love and respect Crim

Let's infect more fools! Hahahaha!

Thanks for the love, Crim.

:)

This is wonderfully written and I love your unique use of metaphors, bravo:)

Xx

Thanks, HQuinn, your comments are generous!

So glad you liked this... Do you have a fever yet? I better read some of your work...

;)

A sick metaphore entirely...

"Read me, soak it up through unwitting eyes"

Loved that line :-)

Heh, Zacc, glad you saw that. Your approval is always sick, how apt. Thank you!

Gabriel, that line popped into my head, then the poem followed. Thanks for noticing!

Although in the end you speak of savages, I felt like floating on a comfort cloud of being in the thought worlds...
Shine on you crazy diamond, Atakti!

Is it a dream cloud? Or a high from the meds?.. We won't know today.

Thank you, Mourganna, you are no savage, or at least, if we all are, you are definitely one of the lady chiefs of the savages...

AHHhhhh---Like Chocolate....

Finally, an addiction one can applaud....even in support groups!:P

My friend, there is truly something magical in your metaphors, and unique phrasing--such 'intoxicating' ink!  (Happy to be 'infected'!) ;)

A Creative Craving!!!

Dark Enchantress, your visits are such a treat... Did you say chocolate??

Thank you, so happy you liked this one.

Yup yup! I'm a 'breath addict' too!
N an even Bigger INK ADDICT, n eff the CURE
becuz I'm deliriously ok with this 'sickness ' lol
Outstanding work my dear! :)

Agreed then, let's spread this infection!

Thank you, Poetik, very kind...

"Feeeed me Seymour"! (wonderful)

"Feed me NOW"

Thank you, Hashman!

I had thought to lambast you for the shameless cliché that is the first line but on reflection can see that its a little deeper than it first seems

quicksilver is the most toxic of metals, infection is mostly fatal ..making you a murderous murderess

the thought process here is pretty good, and apt I think to literature and art alike and that's probably why it survives and evolves
..because of people like you, Atakti

the last stanza seemed a little flippant compared to the rest of the poem, you address the masses and a doc so compared to the pace of the other two, it seems a bit hurried or something

however, it was a pleasure to read and place on my list, hat tip Miss, shine on

Writers want to slay their readers, Craic. Some harder than others... merciless murderess at your service, sir.

As for the first line, funny you should think it is a cliche. Yeah, I was bein' a tad sarcastic, but dreamt it up myself. Grinned at the thought, then the rest of the poem followed.

Thank you very much for the evolving comment. It means a lot to me, as well as the list add.

The last verse... That was my toothy grin, but didn't mean to sound hurried. I just wanted to lighten the sober tone a tad.  ;)

Cheers, Craic!

We're all addicted to some degree. Some more than others. I hate it when they come and I don't have something to write with. That annoys the hell out of me, cuz then I forget it. Much enjoyed.

I have pens stashed everywhere... in every drawer, cupboard, in the car, my bags...

Sometimes words come just as I'm about to fall asleep and my limbs won't cooperate, too tired, I lose those, haha.

Thanks for stopping by!
