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

      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. :-)

    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 :)
