Best Drink Up Poems

Drink Up

Life’s flowing vintage of our yesterday 
Perhaps was bitter dry or richly sweet.
However, then we could not know the taste
Of later wine for years still incomplete.

Today’s wine, dry or sweet, is relative
To what our life has served up in the past.
But fickle future waits...

Drink Up Beer  

On target finally found a firm fix
When we ended up at Check Six
After on bearing we had bore in
Kept returning again and again.

Then we set our sights on Saturn
For repeat performance set a pattern
Continuing on we prayed and prayed
Thanked God for...

The echo of a thought lodged inside me, 
a disjointed welter of crushed feelings 
tinged with a sadness that finds no escape, 
haunts my sleep and takes on a dark shape.

My past joys now a vast black solitude, 
life turns into a blank wall, a...

Sobriety gives time to think
Thinking only gives hate and produces blood
Whereas the drink gives me hope and some superficial love
All the while they demand of us a purpose in life
They say that we should seize the day while we linger in the night
They're fighting for...

summertime blazes 
a large, grumpy goat jumps
betrayed by bottle

which he tried to eat
crunches, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch munch
got glass in his teeth

all in his mouth crunch
in the field and the meadow 
yet he spits out glass

Drown yourself so deeply it hurts
it tells such a story that no longer hurts
take it from me i'll tell you 
this life you live will send you there
to drink up genocide in this lively air
flying and searching for nothing
while these sparks of knowledge kiss the...

I need a cup
so that I may drink
Drink up
No longer am I thirsty
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Provides for me Him and His Father
All of my needs I have no worries

tT need my hands raised up, raised up
so that I may be endowed blessed from on high
I lift...

This long day has come to a close,
don't regret the vocation you chose;
drink up, your work is done!
Drink up, life only offers wine,
it's a brief pause from insane worries
and unaccomplished things!

Drink up, it's the moment of desired rest;
think about how hard was all your sweat,
drink...

I come from the West Country 
it’s the best place to be
they say there is incest 
but I don’t love my own sis

We be drinking up in cider bars 
we do it for a wider ahrse 
it’ll make you smile true
we got tractors we don’t...

Hummingbird come sit upon my feeder
Drink your fill of red nectar made by man
Flowers come and go - this comes from Walmart
Take your time to drink as much as you can

They say you are flying to Mexico
That is farther than I have ever been
I'll do...
