Love's Last Call - Triplet

Whenever he reeks of alcohol
I know he’s been on an angry crawl
To flush away heartache’s waterfall

I'm sorry you didn't like, enoy or "get" my poem, but I do like your's. I appreciate your feedback and know I need to edit, revise and delete some, but have been busy. Perhaps this is one I should eliminate. Biffany

Some people do think alcohol will drown their sorrows, but it doesn't work when I try it. Only makes me sadder. Excellent terzanelle, Susan. Hope to see your poem in the winners' circle. Love, Carolyn

You write with a creative pen Susan. Three lines that tell of a dramatic story to a gripping title. Wonderful!
