Premium Member Drinking is an emotional experience, an elixir that pulls you from the monotony of everyday life
Drinking is an emotional experience, an elixir that pulls you from the monotony of everyday life, It takes you out of ordinary patterns, from all that is identical and dull, like a story told too many times, It tears you from your body and mind, throws you against the invisible walls of your own existence, I feel that...

The camel, when drinking of tea, Takes sugar proportionately. For each of its humps It drops twenty lumps; But more, if it’s sailing by sea. ...

Premium Member I dreamed I was drinking with Toulouse-Lautrec
I dreamed I was in Café Terrace with Toulouse-Lautrec. We were downing glass after glass of orange triple sec. And quite drunk, he muttered something that shocked me so ~ he intimated he'd eaten the ear of Vincent van Gogh! And then I was startled awake ~ with my bloody sunflower bed sheet wrung around my neck. ...

Drinking in a Blind Room
I'm not writing a poem now, I'm drinking wine in a dark room. As always I am tempted to drag the moon into this moment or whatever, make a fuss about something just like those who, not even seeing the moon or its light, just sit in the dark spinning webs for dead spiders. Why drag anything into a dark wine glass, as if you just caught...

Li Po Eating Raw Oysters, Drinking Wine
Beneath the moon's pale gleam, I sit alone, The sea's cool breath weaving through my robes. Upon my lips, the ocean's secrets flow— Each oyster a pearl of the world untold. Their brine whispers of the tides' long song, Of ships lost, of lovers waiting in vain. A sip of wine softens the sea's harsh kiss, Its fire dancing where salt once...

Drinking Song
Bring the wine, come let’s dine and have our fill Of life’s best, be my guest, the world forget; Let’s have fun, work is done, I’ll foot the bill. What, your wife? Have a life, man, make her vexed Just this time; ‘tis no crime to let her fret For a while, make her rile--even perplexed. Stay with me, your mind...

Premium Member More is Less
How you feel is not enough, You as this is less than function, Avert the feel, replace with stuff, Or suffer states, disjunction. Comparing scrambled eggs to buzzing locust, To the mumbled mind within you, Hocus pocus, lack of locus, There's too much to think or do. Is it magic, the spectacle, the prance of flicked rays? Distracting as you navigate your ways, Through this...

Drinking infidelity
Stunning beauty her face really was! She was shaped more like a lovely vase. Never for a one night stand! Booze brewed my sins in bare hands! Beer dragged my shame under my wife's claws....

April 6 Beverage, libation, liquid, Daily Ritual Drinks Drink
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. ...

This City's Chorus
I opened up the window, the street noise came crashing in. Pushing sadness in the hole where my heart once should have been. I see the crumpled bed sheets, where the two of us would lie. It’s hard to see what happened, through these tears filling my eyes. It feels like a hundred years, though it’s just been a few days. You walked...
