What is it that you have done to me?
where flow and syllables have taken control.
where lighting is key to a good photo,
even if it's just for your facebook.

And while I would have said,
you two look so cute,
that lovely fuzzy border
with the hearts in the corner,
could terribly use some work.

And while I want to say
the lighting is not right
it really doesn't matter,
because they are not
photographers.

And when they type a few lines
into a facebook status
about how much love hurts,
and I'm sitting here thinking
rhymezone.com could use,
just a few more clicks.

And I type the words lovely,
and all of the sudden,
a critique feels the need,
to show it's ugly head,
on a piece they don't even mean,
to be a form of art.

Art, what have you done to me?
I read petty poetry
from those who are not writers,
and I can't help but secretly
pick it apart.

I look at the photos
by those who do not photograph,
and all I hear in my mind,
is critique.

Art, you, you are not a love,
you are an addicts disease.
you're culprit,
that prods at my mind,
in every corner,
now making what's nothing,
into something not there.
What the fuck has happened? A love once so strong, now a disease?
I'm critical of so much now; facebook statuses, "selfies"... this is dumb.
This is not love, this is a problem.

A fascinating and oh-so-well crafted look at an "addiction" different from so many others, yet one that afflicts many of us here. I know you do a lot in this community and know that of which you speak. Thank you.
And Congratulations on a DLD Pick of the Day! It's beyond fine writing and into an entirely new concept.
[And here I am, in my addiction, wanting to mention a couple easy typos to fix.] :lmao:
