Lycia Harding Poet Triolet

Slightly Stirred But Never Shaken

======================
If I have just one more drink
(slightly stirred but never shaken),

I can drown them. They will sink,
if I have just one more drink.

This time they'll stay down, I think
and for once, I will awaken

(if I have just one more drink),
slightly stirred, but never shaken.
=====================

Lycia Harding August 8, 2015 at 3:55 PM Well hello my little Night Voice! Heh heh. Actually, this poem was written for the 'Mental Illness' contest but of course I was like one day too late for entry. Boo! But I any reason to write a triolet is fine with me... I've been trying to keep up with congrats on all the great wins by everone but it's hard! Keep checking your comments, though
