Hey, check out my youtube channel where I read from my recent book. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXUvLXEnRfc

Drinking has been an exercise in
lunacy and sorrow,
like jumping off of a cliff,
for tomorrow's dead dreams.
The fruit of the vine should
be sweet and sentimental,
like mamas and milky moonlight.
With a fistful of memories and
a soul full of pain,
I try it all again.

Nothing wrong with a drink, until it becomes two, three, four or even more. Drowning your sorrows has consequences. Great right.

Thank you.

I think this is really good.
I might like it better, if you wrote, "mama's milk and moonlight,"
but that's really trivial and does not matter.

great work.

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you.

[light and ashes]

You are very welcome..

[Betty Hermelee]

drinking can lead to many negative occurrences..when depressed, it has a greater effect on your psyche and your soul....social drinking is far better for you... everything in moderation... nice!
Warmly,

not a good way to mend the soul. the problem with drinking is the next day and the day after that and the day after that ... :)

[Thomas W Case]

I agree. Thank you.

[Stella Armour]

I am not at all sure drinking is useful when you are sad.
Yes sweet wine is another thing when you share it in happiness..

[Thomas W Case]

Thanks, Stella for the review. I have 1 year sober. I learned my lesson.

[Stella Armour]
