Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

More Wine

Loneliness comes creeping
always the same way.
Creeping, creeping
making shadows,
darkening my day.

Days turn into nights.
Nights turn back to days.
I don’t dine -
Just pour more wine;
keep inside this haze.

Wish my love gave a damn.
He's as bad as that
loneliness that’s creeping
like some crazy 
prowling cat.

Loneliness prowling round.
Guess I’ll make it mine.
Crazy cat mews the blues
I just pour
more wine.

May 16, 2023 for Robert James Liguori's 'Joe Bonamassa Inspiration 4' Poetry Contest
Inspired by Black Coffee song with joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart together
