Imbibed Advice on Optimism.

I really like this one....so that means pretty please, tear it apart. Really rip into it guys. I want harsh criticism. When I like a poem I'm always affraid that my pride will blind me to any flaws or possible improvements.

 

Drink friend! Drink.
Whether half empty,
Or plainly half full.
Drink from this glass
of potions so pure.

Sip to Swill to fill…
and drown.

Eyes raised up;
glossy orbs behind glass.
As liquid’s do leak
and poison pills pass.

Sip to swill to fill..
And drown.

Sugar and water;
Smiles and rain.
To drink is to live.
To die is the same.

Warm cup
or cold.
Crystal clear vessel
or porcelain bowl.
The fluids you drink
are centuries old.
Past the mouths of our fathers.
Past the plate of the world.
Please,drink of this chalice;
The goblet of good and
great things to come;
an ocean not salty
but sweet on the tongue.

It's become one of my favorite from you collection too... Nicely written...

About ppl not commenting on it... there can be only two reasons:

1) they don't understand (it's not your fault)
2) I've observed that if you comment on others' work they generally return the favor... :)

Thanks for writing my friend... :)

Respectfully,
Amartya

hi

i frankly am no experienced poet. i just write my heart out & my favourite poems r those that make me feel good. so i cant actually pass any comments on the language or construction of the poem but i can say 1 thing, i liked it.

i liked the way the poem makes u float through it. its written with ease which really impressed me. i think thats one quality only good poets posses.

thanks,

Prema
