Some of my favorite poems by my favorite poets
Comment?
1. A Drink
With glass, I am a man – or so I think!
At least I am when blessed with courtly drink:
A gin or two, then vintage port or wine
To pep me up and gift me with a shine
Mark R Slaughter
2. Alcoholic
Red bled the sun upon a dying day.
I was red across the dial – in denial –
Purple bags bemoaning alcoholics’ eyes –
Blind, they still portray a depth of ruin
Mark R Slaughter
3. This is my life
Life defines in Metabolism,
In reproduction,
we make our miniature selves,
our look alike
RIC S. BASTASA
4. Smoker
I billowed calmly as a cloud
Upon a course for acid rain,
When in the fog of smoking crowd,
My lungs collapsed in searing pain
Mark R Slaughter
