The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Old Wood

at one end
a finishing
crack actually
only a hair
line fracture left
of the sound
hole
of my old
mandolin

depression
era circa
1930's depresses
me even with
one string broken
soft pick
strumming her
pear
shaped body

Your opinion, and Elsa Rosee's, mean the most to me (as does my true Muse.) You are the true poets. I just bounce around words like a basketball and hope if I dribble and drive forward I might get one through the hoop. I do truly bow to the 3 of you. Thank you.
