Cuba Libre

More Drunken Poetry...

A sip of sweet memory

with a sour lime twist;

the band doesn’t play anymore

Author's Note

Used to follow a band way back when. My drink of choice in those days was the Rum & Coke...

This one sings to me...a melodic Barcardi rumba. Nice one Rita

[Rita L. Sev]

"Bacardi rumba" - LOL! Thank you, Jack!

[Tom]

Well even though the band has folded the memories will always remain !

"Cheers once more to your good health Rita" !

[Rita L. Sev]

*clink* Thanks, Tom!

[Abdul Aziz]

How fast time moves. It moved within the time it took to put the glass down. Very well written, as always! :)

[Rita L. Sev]

You got it, Abdul - the fleeting nature of time, the sweet memories that linger... Thank you.

[Cassie]

The good thing about memory is that we can have good memories and bad ones and here I see you have sweet memories. Keep those ones leave out the bad ones.

[Rita L. Sev]

Excellent advice, Cassie - and I am lucky to have more good than bad... Thank you!

[Coyote Poetry]

A very good poem. I like watching the videos of the Cuba's musicians. Alive and amazing music. Good to write poetry with some positive help. Thank for sharing the excellent poetry.

[Rita L. Sev]

This is a taste and a time I recall fondly... Thanks, Lydi!

Rum and coke is so yummy, but man does it give me a headache! The good ole days, eh, Rita?? I understand. Angi~

[Rita L. Sev]

Better without that headache! ;) Thanks, Angi!

[redflutterby]

Mmm....rum and coke!! Lol... Use to drink those many years ago. Great poem Rita.. ;-)

[Rita L. Sev]

Yes, it was the drink of my youth... Now a glass of wine is preferred! Thanks, Red!

[Pryde Foltz]

Up here in Canada we usually start out with rye and coke. Perhaps, it should be named a Canuck Drunk.

[Rita L. Sev]

Lol! I like that - call a local bartender and start a trend, Pryde!

[Sheila Kline]

Hey, I still like Rum & Coke - even if it is called Cuba Libra..........lol
Cute!!

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Thanks, Sheila!
