PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

thoughts are

only rarely

allowed to foster

ready ideas

Li Po

must be lurking

in the shadows

taunting me

as I slowly sip

the splendid fluid

Do you reckon

he’s a bit jealous

as I take

another sip

a sip of beer

at 9:55 PM

on a Saturday night

9:59 PM

and a mantra

begins to emerge

but my raison d’etre

remains beyond arm’s reach

Li Po points out

it’s now 10:07pm

slowly time slips away

the apple cinnamon candle

provides a glow

and a soothing warmth

not to mention

psychedelic flickers

10:20pm, a beer is finished

so 10:21 pm another beer

has made itself available

luscious IPA

backed by Hallucination Engine

and still believing

in all the old clichés

approaching eleven

10:54pm

Jazz guitar

is the code for today

11:03pm

trucking toward midnight

the bewitching hour

time passes softly

I can feel the fleeting

grasp of winter

as we approach

the Spring Equinox

on the cusp

and I’m ready

to move along to new goals

midnight still approaching

11:25pm on a Saturday night

the beer is pretty good

and the music is still playing

things are never

as bad

as some people say
