Day Drinking At the Grand

(Is this better than ChatGPT did yesterday? We're having a contest.)

dormant as naked
shivering trees
falling before me

yearning
for warmth
and companionship 
in neverending 
cold cruel 
winter
Armageddon

solace at
the Grand 
found it
in a hot toddy
and hugs from
Angela and Shelby
my favorite bartenders 

Angela's latest
watercolor 
just emerging
stunning
goddess
full of symbology
I see 
dream catcher
earrings
colbalt silk dress
hemmed with
gold Hindu ohms
and swastikas 
soft light
falling from
glowing moon's face
embedded 
with
Cancer rising
astrological chart
Angela laughing
takes her
phone away

Shelby
petite 
blue haired 
pixie
swaps
toddler stories
her three year old
daughter 
my two year old
granddaughter 
being so adorably 
horrible

I share
latest pics
from most recent
journey 
youngest's wedding 
big blue sky 
soft white whisps
gracing over 
beautiful bride 
sequins sparkling 
like snow 
in setting sun

her handsome groom
in spiffy 
mallard green tuxedo
crying

yeah...
and I have to 
share my latest
girlfriend/online dating
experiences 
always amusing 

and hear that?
it's Billy Joel
Piano Man 
playing
in the background
 
nothing like 
day drinking
the bleak and grey 
away
happy hour
happy day
