Beverage Poems

Truth In Advertising

I do enjoy imbibing a vintage libation
now and again (and again, and again)
but when I thought I'd bought
the best bottle of Bordeaux money can buy,
then looked at the label on the back,
before pulling the cork, I nearly had a heart attack.
'Characterised by a great body,' it stated,
'velvety cedar and hazelnut texture,'
but my taste buds went

April 6—Beverage, libation, liquid…

Daily Ritual Drinks Drink


in the morning
I drink a cup
of snarling hot coffee
while watching the news.

in the afternoon 
I shift to tea
either earl gray
or herbal tea.

a day without Earl Gray
is not a good day.

at sunset 
I drink red wine
with my wife.

as the evening
shifts into night
I drink rum 
or whiskey.

to eat the day
right.

beverage

Twist off the cap
Lay it in your lap
I'm your favourite beverage
Take a sip of your leverage
I give catering a double meaning
Leave the flavours of my heart overweening

Soft or alcoholic
Was your love for me hyperbolic
Do I leave you dreary in the streets
Every step your awareness depletes
Or do you look forward to tasting me again
No longer a

Premium MemberThe Cursed Drupe

Completely unrestrained, sun drenched and yummy,
Tasting of the tropics, flavors so tender,
Falling from the coconut tree to greet my tummy,
Great amounts of fiber found in each bite….

Scrumptious like the mango, cashew and cherry
And, just like these – they aren’t nuts at all,
Instead, they’re a drupe, fleshy and a little harry,
The coconut palm is the national

Cheers Hs

enhanced refreshment
bubbles at the surface burst
carbonation fizz

the fluid’s magic 
virtue is revealed at last
bubbles of hidden gas

spontaneously 
perform a brief dance in glass
like droplets through air

they don’t forever
come from the depths of your drink
once then vanish

a mystery to be traced
a delight you cannot taste

Beverage For Leverage

The by-far dull child at orphanage,
After placement on beverage,
Mathematics above average:
A sixty-nine percent anchorage?

Other kids could only vilely rage;
The most envious began fast to age

The once-empty thing at orphanage
Could thrice try syllabus coverage,
Teachers wasting words; he could manage,
No need to be under tutelage...

Means beverage gives one leverage
Kids' craving for it to encourage
Teenagers: Beverage leverage,
To them

Can you name the President of Guatemala
    How 'bout the islands off the coast of Sahara
  Would you happen to know the currency of Iceland
    And what about the most popular beverage in Spiceland 

  I myself have forgotten last year's Super Bowl Winner

Premium MemberBeverage of Choice

Who wants to hear my latest diatribe
of how the world could stand to be improved? 
Or quaff a pint, and hear as we imbibe,
of politics of which I’ve not approved?
Perhaps a glass of vintage Cabernet
would help one hear the stories of my life.
My search for love that doesn’t fly away
and of the dove I asked

If I Were a Beverage

If I were a beverage I would go down smooth
Refreshing tantalizing and mesmerizing thrills
Expressing loudly how tasty I am
Closing your eyes reveling in its abundance of spices
Mulling over in your mind what could this possibly be
I shake you
Roll you beyond your wildest dreams
Wanting to share this flavor with those you know
Willing to risk it on

Of vibrancy and stagnation…
