OCD

Obsessive I know I am
Compulsive, perhaps
I happen to give a damn
as things might collapse
 
Order is important to me
so I can maintain control
All where it’s supposed to be
then its perfection I can extoll

Laura is hosting Poetics tonight at D'Verse
and shared with us some beautiful poems by
Eliabeth Jennings who has a very clear and
direct style of writing.  So Laura has prompted
us with the word "Order" to be used as a noun.

6. Maybe some level of OCD is a good thing… (maybe it’s the order in disorder that is needed)
