Overindulgence - poem by Nóra Skehan

Overindulgence
A morning spent greedily gathering poetry,
like berries,
to feast on,
to sustain me.

My arms laden with inspiration,
I gobble up stanzas of rhythm.
Eagerly I indulge in your keen observation
and savour your sweet shrewd wit.

I sigh in contentment
after my perfect breakfast.

Now it is time for me to compose,

I may have eaten too much.
