Forbidden Fruit Poem by Practicing Poetess
Forbidden Fruit
Once they tasted forbidden fruit
They couldn't live without it
Or stop talking about it.
Don't let it get its hooks in you
Soon, that is all you'll want to do
And it will take you down, down, down.
A little taste makes you want more
Until that's all you're living for
You'll sell your soul for nothing.
Addictions will hunt you down
Imprison you, and keep you bound
Until your corpse goes in the ground.
(And when your corpse goes in the ground,
It's usually prematurely.)

You're so right! Some may laugh and not believe, but poetry is a great blessing to us and not in disguise. You are blessed too! I sincerely mean it.
Sandra, we are so lucky that we write poetry. That's a beneficial and acceptable addiction! :)
I'm so sorry to hear that. Yes, it must have been very, very difficult for you to write! I salute your courage and your valiant warning to others. Only the brave and good of heart can be so generous.. I admire your courage and your caring heart, very sincerely.
Thanks, Sandra. That was my intent- - a poem with a warning message. This was a very hard poem for me to write. I lost my baby brother due to drugs and his excessive alcoholism. He was the youngest sibling in my family, and he went before any of the rest of us.

Addiction is a vicious cycle. It will bring you down down down. A good write on how the forbidden fruit will swallow you up and lead you to a premature death! Nicely done Practicing Poetess.
Thanks, Aqua, as always! You should read my 'Dancing the Night Away.' More our style, my fellow connoisseur of all things romantic! : -)
