Best Cocktail Poems

(ALLITERATION)
Cows milked: mitigated mooing in the meadows then
Weaving on the warp, some workaholic women

Harvest of hapless halibuts on hooks
Bookish book-worms buried in books

A palomino and a pony patter on the paving
Hucksters and hawkers hawking every housing.

Ravers out on the razzle raising a raucous razz-ma-tazz
Beavers busy...

Sheer boredom has me at this torpid end
Another rerun; please give me a break 
The short list of scripts to which they pretend 
I simply just can’t find one flying fake

Perhaps I’ll jump up on this tabletop
Do my best impression of Bill Shakespeare
It may resuscitate...

New year's eve-
Regrets and hopes dance
Together....

We drift aimlessly
Upon a delicate mode of dust
A choice, not ours to make
Existing because we must

Absorbing what must be known
Experience is just what we feel
Careening across the universe
The blind hand of fate on the wheel

Or perhaps we're afloat in a  cosmic concoction
A galaxy an...

Winter's early evening breeze
feels and smells the same now,
as when sixteen,
except less promising
because more consoling,
contenting rather than regenerating contentious breath
of future hopes and dreams,
knowing we conspire somehow,
Earth and I,
because I feel richer to love this way,
than to breathe evening's winter still, alone.

I am less sure...

Cocktail parties are an entrenched American custom, I suppose.
A forum to spew inane babble and where the booze freely flows!
I've suffered through more of them than I care to recall,
And I try to avoid them like the flu - they drive me up the wall!

Alas,...

Drink up daredevils!
It’s not a joke.
The human toe in your drink 
Is not just taking a soak. 

It’s challenged many drinkers 
And many have exclaimed, 
“Ewwww, What’s going on? 
And who has been maimed?” 

But there are the hearty

In the purple haze of the bar room
you muse lustful moves
like the true artist you are
you stumble but find yourself
in the midst of shipwrecks
swaying to the trash band
of suburban artifacts 
the dance floor groans
like a wooden sailboat
in a hurricane
pot smoke belly aches
too much acid
messes with...

Apricot nectar, I licked from her lips,
suckled the dew like honey
from melon ripe breast
and in time did savor
the heady heavenly flavor
of passion's fruit in all the rest
and night birds
beyond the window

...sang a new song....

I want to drink you naked
the same way I would a complex 
whisky.
seduce your Wheat
out of a glencairn glass/
nose your acrobatic aroma/
leave my base/
thrill your grains.
you are a 
provocative contradiction.
I want to drink you naked
you are my measured 
recipe....

"I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it..."  E.E. Cummings


It's another night... I open the  curtains
my mistress is hidden in moonlit meadows.
vastness of space inked in her fingerprints
flows in fantasy, filling a familiar fragrance.

I...

The brassy sassy cocktail napkin winked at Jim.
He looked around quickly, wondering who saw.
The other patrons at the bar did not seem to notice.
Have another drink! She said. I’ll go home with you.
He had two more before stuffing her into his pocket.
She had been giving...

Soup Creek Toasts
Marmite cocktails are delicious I've heard
They are the hippest cocktails being served
So to raise a toast 
Tell Jenna the host
Mayor Tom's sure to be shaken and stirred.
