Addictive Writers

Like a hungry person with a voracious appetite
Have you ever felt the constant compulsion to write
Not for money or any sort of recognition or fame
Without any of these in mind you feel compelled for to write just the same
Some are addicted to writing or so it does seem
Though writing does little for their public or self esteem
Am i telling you anything that is new
When i say that addictive writers are not even in the few
They never aspire to great wealth and renown
But their sort are to be found in every village and city and town
Yet even amongst local writers they are not and will never be to the fore
They write for the love of it little else more
If you write out of compulsion it does seem to me
An addictive writer you well may be.
