Alcohol, the ingredient which holds them together.45 total reviews
Comment from Brett Matthew West
Drink together to stay together. Not a real good combination. Picture fit poem nicely. Verse One tells it like it is. Third verse did not make a lot of sense to me. Write on.

Up to verse three I was into this poem. That verse threw me off, and if it throws me off, others will probably interpret it the same way.
Comment from thomdble
Very sad but too often true commentary of life 'in the bottle'. Drink to escape and become a prisoner. That is what happens, isn't it. Escape reality only to find reality looking back at you each time you look at the bottom of an empty glass or bottle. Been there/done that. Good words for the picture. Thank you.

Thank you for reading, thomdble. It is difficult to swallow when it is your daughter and her husband. They separated for two years, got back together, but, the glue that keeps them together seems to be alcohol. And, now I understand that they may move away from both families to avoid scrutiny. Saddens a mother's heart. livelylinda

Comment from ravenblack
Hollow echo from the wood/ isolation in a bottle/ full throttle to nowhere- excellent! I can hear that thunk of bottle against bar as an avalanche scatters silences w/more silence. I'm just not sure what you mean by "nineteen". Excellent poem.

ravenblack: my eldest daughter, age 46, and her husband separated for two years. They are back together now but the glue keeping them together is alcohol, way too much of it. The nineteen is the name of the road to where they are moving (US 19 runs north and south on the western side of Florida). They want to avoid family scrutiny and are moving away. Their only child is graduating from high school in May and he will continue to live in the family home in the woods. I am greatly saddened. livelylinda

Thank you for explaining. I feel for you. I had a severely alcoholic aunt and uncle and their long-term affair with the bottle really messed up my two cousins. I hope you grandson chooses to move out.

Concise power in this finely written poem
Good use of space, descending to nowhere
"An avalanche", is the perfect word choice to sum up the irresistible force
Excellent picture to poem match with good background color to reflection the picture and the poem
Nicely done

What love and connection draws us to the wooden bar? Why, lost, alone or needing something or someone? This world is upside down and addicting. Many people have died with this liquid love. Well written.
Walk with a friend or a dog or two. God bless! flylikeaneagle

flylikeaneagle: This poem is about my eldest daughter, 46 years. She was always the perfect child, easy to raise, did everything right, worked hard, etc. After 18 years of marriage, she and her husband separated for two years. Then they got back together and behave like newlyweds which should be a good thing but they began consuming alcohol together which seems to be the glue which is holding them together. His family and mine are not happy about this as rumor is they are moving about 1 1/2 hours south of everyone so they can drink in isolation without family comments. I am so disappointed. Their only child, my grandson, graduates from high school this May and he won't be going with them but stay in the family home in which he grew up. Thanks for reading. Linda

Alcohol and drugs can destroy lives. It hurts our hearts when people prefer them instead of God.
I pray for healing for your family. flylikeaneagle
