If you should notice any spelling or grammatical errors...PLEASE...point them out to me, as I am compiling these poems for my new book. Thank you, Emile.
Like anguish, distilled from tears
beer levies a costly price.
And arouses sleeping fears
as an elixir of vice.
This ubiquitous drink can
temporarily numb pain.
And yet, since first brewed by Man,
in excess it warps the brain.
Alcohol’s lonely refrain
drowns out melodies of love.
And though it’s hard to abstain
it oft turns push into shove.
When teetering on the brink
alcoholism cuts no slack.
For once addicted to drink
depression inks your world black.
(Quatrain)
