Sky of blue and tea of green

Sky of blue and tea of green

A Poem by Antonionioni
"

Sonnet about what it says it's about :)

"

I drink my green tea by day and red wine

Or beer by night, but in moderation

And if I avoid alcohol I find

The evenings bring me more inspiration

Today however I’m writing this down

At work, because it’s Friday, and then I

Can relax with a drink later, the sound

Of music replacing typing, the cry

Of guitar strings and not the anguished sigh

As I look at my inbox, write a line

Of poetry, then feel the frustration

As writer’s block hits and the clock ticks by

My tea’s all gone, the chocolate tasted fine

And I’ll walk home, now that this poem’s done

Its fun to hang out with you, Tony! I have been offline for a week or so and have missed these little gems you produce.
Lighthearted and fun, necessary for the day to day, with news and opinion included.
Great stuff.

hey this was pretty neat.

i can so picture you in some cubicle slaving away and writing this on your computer. and i think this is very relevant to anyone out in the 9 to 5 type world, yearning towards the evening and towards the weekend.

ill admit, i know very little about classical poetic form. i see your rhyme structure makes this a sonnet, and i know those are usually love poems, but i really appreciate that you break that mold and write about something much more relevant to most readers.
