To write the night away
It's all the 2's
on a twenty-four clock
with a long way to go.
Roaring meg is just
another beer
-one of many.
The bars are out
of bounds...
Not a problem:
I have the Delta Blues
at my disposable
and a gruff voice
to follow it along.
Sing a song for me;
keep it quiet,
while I exhale stratus,
so that I can lean in
to catch the breath
against my ear.
There's a long way to go,
but it's going.
on a twenty-four clock

There's a long way to go,

I like the drift of this piece. A smooth simple insight to those kind of nights.. I'm raising my glass to this.

This opens and closes with some clever wordplay, perfectly encasing the monotone introspection which characterises your work. A nicely formed, intelligent piece. Just one question: "Roaring meg"? Who's Meg and why isn't her name capitalised?

It's a fine ale, and the strongest you can buy in the morrisons 4 for £5.50 range! Thank you sir.

I had a feeling it was something like that. I should really develop a taste for the creature.

This poem is lyrical and easy flowing. Great job at showing and not telling. It's a topic we can all relate to which is great.
