Poetry

You say I make the reader think others say I make the reader drink in a sense, all poems should be a finger intoxicating, if to have a minimum jigger of literary worth.

A slice of pizza and a nice cold beer! Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. That you, Oliver.

Hi Joe, I appreciate any good rhyming poem, and this is one that I read again. "Finger intoxicating," a great phrase to be enjoyed like any good jigger of spirits.

To educate or stimulate an honest emotion, that's always my goal Joe. But I don't like to get too heady. I'm a simple fella

Dishonest? Not at all

Thank you, Tom; so you think Heady is dishonest? Interesting. I am no educator...not smart enough.

Like it! Yes, a poem should be intoxicating, to some extent :)
