The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Ale

She comes
like ginger ale in the desert
sweet and sparkly
to me

quenching the fires of my heart
soothing my dust choked throat
I drink

soon again I have thirst
but she is gone, and I stand
sand in can

Somehow I know this feeling well. Pleading for something to drink, finding it and enjoying it and then it is gone. Leaving us alone in a desert of deserted dreams. Nicely done.

Thank you Chris for your kind words. Dream on! Drink from the well of love and thirst will be vanquished forever.
