Addiction–
One pleasurable
Or painful
For some–sport
Others use it to feed their muse
To read or create
Or maybe–
Acquire artwork
That one loves
A vision
As seen through another’s eye
That speaks to the heart
Love shopping
Or not love shopping
No matter
We all do
Fall under its heady spell
Once in a while

Prompt: Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie – Shadorma Photo Prompt #7
Thanks Dom! A lovely shadorma and so true! Thanks for your poetic thoughts. Georgia
Thank you Georgia, I really do love writing in this form and thank you for the great prompt. I have been writing to a lot more prompts lately and am having a great deal of fun with them. 🙂
Thanks Dom, I’m glad you’ve enjoyed shadorma and the prompts. I too have been trying out new prompts…keeps the muse on her toes! Keep having fun, I think that is one of the most important ingrediants in writing 🙂
Lovely take on this prompt…no surprise there:) I love bookstores even if I don`t buy.
Me too, I could spend hours in them. I still love the feel of a “real” book in my hands far more than I do a digital copy, but I guess I need to get with the times and just accept that this is how things are going. 🙂
Yes you are right, we all fall under shopping’s spell at one time. Nicely done. 🙂
Thank you very much, I know that I have a time or two even though I really hate to shop. 🙂
Reblogged this on The Mod3rn ghost and commented:

A great mix of pleasure and pain, but absolutely one of the better addictions to have! Love it!
Thank you very much, this true for some at least, I’m not much for shopping myself, it’s just too much of a hassle, but I did enjoy writing this piece 🙂
