The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

- Haiku X 25 - Whiskey -

The loneliness weighs

        Whiskey bottle is emptied

        Doomed to go to hell

Interesting poem; like the best Haiku this can be interpreted in several ways: Is the poet drinking because s/he is lonely and will then be condemned because of that act or Has the poet already been sentenced to hell and the sup of firey amber liquid is his/her swansong? Either way, great poem! Thanks for stopping by my poems!

Booze makes you lose. It's not the right road to choose. Those who take it have no clues. You will pay more than just your dues. It wil never be a cure for the blues.

AAAAAH! this haiku made me go try one for myself. I posted one today but i couldn't remember where i had seen this one so my haiku is deadicated to you with all its faults and with the full knowledge that you are worth far more than my grubby poem. I thought your haiku was good. Thank you for your comment on my poem "Anne" It was gentle and tender

Let's hope that God's forgiving grace can save us from ourselves. The question is, is why is there so much liquer on the shelves. The power of 25 was truly maxed with your haiku Anne. Peace. :)

Wow. I agree with Peter to some degree. No one on this earth is going to hell. We are as good as we are evil. Mistakes do not define our lives. I hope all is well. great write! -Juli-Michelle
