on the rocks ======== a poem about love

[Haunted]

1.

a chance rendezvous
fixed by the bartender

stir in the glass
building to a stirring moment:

suddenly Dirty Martini
found his Bloody Mary

the perfect pair

until the day
the glass is empty


2.

why do they call it
Happy Hour
when it's not
a happy hour

why do we say
the word goodbye
when it feels so bad
saying goodbye

why didn't you
ask me why

why ask why now

DON'T

coz it’s too late ...


3.

some mixes
can be lethal

thankfully
no one died that night

but something else did

Wonderful the way you lay these out as if they were breaths escaping effortlessly from your heart/mind/mouth!

Thanks so much for your kind words. The way you worded your comment is poetry itself.

Long time ago I stopped writing. While playing 3 People Haiku and Shared Haiku games, a few words popped into my head. So here I set them free & organized them into 2 pieces. This is the first one....

It's a really nice poem flowing like a rook from the ranges of heart!
No words can describe it better than Prince's! Congrats.

Now, lets answer your ' whys'...
Enjoy reading it!:)


There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.
We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
Why didn't the preacher praught.
If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!
English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)
That is why When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch It starts
But when I wind up this observation, It ends.
