Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Addictions are very hard to break. I always think of the young people who start with drugs, when they are young, and then keep letting the monkey continue throughout their life.

I never have understood the attraction. Never have participated, and even in the service I never hankered to get drunk. Morality was center stage, I guess in the fifties.

of any wrongful thinking. :-?

Comment from jmdg1954
For so many, any form of addiction is difficult to manage properly. I think we take it for granted that it is easily managed. If it were, our society would be in a better place.
Nicely composed.

Comment from Sarah Das Gupta
An effective free verse poem on the 'monster' lust. The illustration is well chosen as is the imagery of the snake and forbidden fruit. I'm not sure about the tone? Is it humorous, a little 'tongue in cheek'?

Normally, I write much tongue in cheek, but I am missing where I have done so with this piece. I appreciate your comments, anyhow. Thanks for reading and leaving a comment.

So it was sufficiently "monster"ous?
