Poetry Contest

Write a senryu/haiku poem based on beer or alcohol
Write a senryu/haiku poem about beer or alcohol.  It can be about the aesthetics of the involvement in lifestyle in general, simply about pouring up a drink, perhaps celebratory tradition or experience involving alcohol, or about inebriation and/or intoxication.  You can also write on the topic of alcoholism/addiction.  It must be 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the 2nd line, and 5 syllables in the 3rd line.  Here is a simple example:



Over-Flowing:

Another cold beer
Pouring inside of the glass
Outwardly cascades



This poem could be taken as pouring up a literal glass of beer, and the carbonation overflowing to the outside of the glass.  If you examine the particular language, it could also be about how emotion flows when drinking, in an "outward cascade", like opening up, and talking, and being inebriated, etc.  Idk, maybe it could be worded better, but I think this suffices as an example.



Try to be creative and capture the essence of alcoholic consumption in a well-spirited manner.  Perhaps an ode to drinking with friends, or even a battle with addiction.  Limit one entry per person.

Beer


Drink the bottle down
Feel the warming numbing rush
Diluting the soul

"A Balkan Burn"

Golden warmth descends
fire and fruit in perfect burn
summer on the tongue

Liquid Echoes Of Despair

chasing shadows lost
inside an empty shot glass
whiskey and false hope

Bar Room

Scent of alcohol
Mingled with the smell of smoke
Lingered in the air

All very good entries.  A little bit of everything.  Just what I intended by this.  Good job so far, everyone!

In the Glass

Temptation breakdown
Warmth melts from rock-sold ice cube
Diluted disillusion
