All Comments on 'A Fool in Alcoholic Haze'

I feel this real deep. Been here, lived this.

Feel words creep up my spine,

from that well deep inside,

where I keep precious phrases

like "You shouldn't have been born"

or "I will hurt you if you ever tell"

in stagnant pools,

like the disgusting water

in the patina birdbath.

Brilliant portrait. Write it out, girl. And keep coming back!

Thank you for sharing this

I hope we can help

the cicadas falling into the drink, one after another, portrays the recurring pain you speak of. This poem hurts and the last stanza is an incredible moan:

"So, down the drink,

and pull him into bed,

because this too is all I have."

So bleak, so powerfully presented. This is poetry... well done.

You express yourself wonderfully. Good, good writing.

Such a vivid painful picture - peace be with you

The haze gives but a

Moment's respite to the

Enervating pain.

A temporary release from the pain as a rain storm rages unabated.
