Unwind

Relax, it's Friday

In dizzying hues, responsibility glares

of knowing the whys and whens and wheres

Sweet bliss of amaretto amber brings

the gift of ignorance of all these things

Ha! Amaretto is an occasional treat for me, usually on Fridays after a LONG week... Thanks, Rose!

[SyberRose]

Im sure you deserve it too...:)

oh lord. i used to wish there were a liquor that tasted good with no aftertaste and smooth as silk...i even used to dream of the taste. then i found Disaronno...mmm, on ice! this is a great homage to the blissful nuances of amaretto.....very nice!

[Rita L. Sev]

My favorite spirit - wine is nice with dinner, but Amaretto is a weekend treat, too special to be everyday. :) Thanks!

[quinfinn]

you're welcome!

So true. I am a fan of shorter works. Sometimes I want to look at a poem like I might look at a painting. This poem says much and has color. Well done.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks so much, Fireblossom!

i used to drink amaretto stone sours...on friday...after a tough week at school...

they still taste good...so does this poem with its wonderful alliteration
and great last two lines..the bliss of ignorance...what we can forget or never know in the first place...can really let us go to "that place."

that place of contentment.

Thanks, Jacob. Wonder if the amaretto is a teacher thing? (or just an Italian thing;)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i don't know Rita...we are both teachers...and my grandfather was an orphan who came over from Sicily...so yeah, there is that italian thing for sure.

Ha which reminds me, I need a drink bad! Cheers to you and your fine work here. :-)

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Frieda!

[Frieda P]

Always. What's your pleasure, white or red? :-)

[Rita L. Sev]

LOL - always red! But last night really was a shot of amaretto :)

Amen. Thanks for reading, Marie

some days the frustrations just get soooo ...yeah, teachers aren't allowed reality - they just live with it. Sometimes you do see the "light" come on... and it's so worth it.

[Rita L. Sev]

So true. I love what I do, but by Friday night, I am tired of having to know everything. Yes, so worth it - that light is what keeps me going. Thanks for reading and commenting, Chris!

[Chris]
