Love this because it speaks to me. I love how you can write so much sober. I'm like that too become too tired to write if I drink too much. Yet, I love the taste of whiskey. What makes this poem so perfect and superlative is the mixture of two concepts people wouldn't usually write about together, many would speak about them together, there is an honesty and bravery in being able to pen this sublime poem.

Stirred not shaken...I love this...

[Larry Dyson]

bravo...but for real...?inspiration comes from the Muse and I muse words like you....A woman inspired to write is more a heady mixture than any pilsner I ve drank..

[Jonhoi Vaughn]

Very good! Rank with truth and the simplicity and expressive nature of your style :-) But I wonder... Is that somewhat a dare to the self at the end?

[Ramiz Ilham Khan]

Damn !! Its seductive.

[Desert Dreamer]

Oh, the dizziness to be found in the power of words. I'll take the words over the alcohol any day. Wonderful to read.

Lol....poetic wisdom well put
bottle on empty more often than not means regrets on full
