Image of Tasting Hour Martini Glass provided by Noritake Sultry Stemware He lifts me up, and holds me against the light, His tender eyes glaringly, stares at my genteel presence, looking over at my noble constitution, I feel his desires of his hands as he sips my e s s e n c e, as I am but a grin on his face, with eyes for another me. 2019 May 07 *1st Place* ALL YOURS (JUN 1) ~~Brian Strand: Judged 2021 June 01

Everything about your poem is exceptional, William. Excellent personification in concrete form, and especially striking, are your last four lines for an intoxicating finale. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

Concrete personification? And it looks exactly like a goblet? This is a show off poem, and it is fun also!
