Poemranker [Poem: Bottle collection] [by INTRANSIT] Thu Nov 21 10:41:29 PST 2024

All contained something before, during, after, one time or another. A june-bug scotch drunk from the air of another era or someones favorite red decanting itself to the air like the Mistress' spring bouquet. Nickels and dimes, the most they ever had, or a rescue letter never sent.

I like this INTRANSIT. you have taken something innocuous and gven it life-- "A june-bug scotch drunk" is a great line. Good work. BTW, it seems like you and skamper are the only ones to comment and vote on this site anymore. Whats up with that?

I don't know, Paul. Others come and go. But hey, you're here too!

Anyway, thanks and Happy T-day if you're into that.

I've just finished a book where the husband was a bottle collector - he had loads of them, proudly displayed and affectionately restored...at the end of the book the wife smashed every one of them. Not that this has anything to do with your poem, apart from coincidence to me...

This poem is perfect in it's quiet way, love it.
