It was a Beautiful Night
The beer tastes better
When you're cold and unemployed
Beautiful nights skip away
Like whippets
Mornings sweep up afternoons
And the songbirds sing sweetly
For those who listen

That opening line of the beer tasting better when you’re cold and unemployed hooked me straight away, and the rest did not disappoint.
I just love these little pure thoughts that appear sometimes. This feels like a memory… of something coming to the foreground, being remembered.
Each image is concise from the taste of the beer, to the skipping whippets, to the songbirds. It shows great economy.
Thank you for this. It’s beautiful.

Hi,
Thanks for your kind words. I have been working on weaving images with Bold emotions like that for a few years. My newset find was Philip Larkin, who, as you may already know, managed to make Hull feel poetic.

Thanks I'm trying taking back the ground that was lost. I don't want a world where people who have no job are looked down upon. Because if everyone is gain fully employed we would have never had Van gogh - who dedicated himself to his art.

Thanks for your words of strength,
I have more peoms to post but they are unfinished. I can't seem to tie them down. Because I am focused on short stories.

I loved hearing this one James. :) For the most part this has serene calm feel for me but some substances can definitely do that. The second line definitely takes me to a different place, altered reality where the troubles of life are drowned by trying to change the perception any way you can. To find that enjoyment in life that is missing at that time.
