clearer

It rains Patron
    when my dots don't connect.
Fuck the shot glass
i'll suck on the bottle a bit.

your face is always
clearer that way
        and
my need is always less.

    the curve of the bottle
    distorts his face into clarity
    and by closing one eye
    there are only
    half as many bastards
    to drink with

    Your poetry works best when edgy. It amazes me that your heated passion doesn't cook the raw emotion that you write with. Your work is always worth a read...

    I thought as the shots start piling on, the need increases. That's why we call them "beer goggles" after all. And it's not the shot glass you will be expressing "fuck" to. Women do have one advantage in that situation, though. Their performance isn't affected. By contrast, that was a nice little joke that God put into the male genome...

    Seriously, I am delighted you paid a nice hello to my author page. It reminded me to see if you had written anything recently, and I am very pleased to see the answer is yes. Because you are a great poet.

    Thank the lord I've never stooped so low as to drink tequila to avoid a problem... though I have on occasion invented problems as an excuse to drink.

    Hugs and snuggles (i figger if thumwum else can pull that off, so can i).

    I can recall the days when the "shot glass" didn't do the trick. Reality is; the bottle doesn't either sometimes.

    I'm always glad to see your name pop up Venessa. I miss you, and keep you close to my heart. Your poem seems sad. I hope things are well with you and your twin. I know your baby girl is beautiful, and sassy as ever. Just like her mommy. Take care dear heart.


    Always ♥

    Renee
