Hoi hoi B.,
Hope this finds you well.

Beautiful imagery.
We all know speech to text, what we may try to invent speech to image. To make things a little extra adventurous. Not that you need that.

The 400th eh? Cheers to you.
And long may you run!
Kind regards, Gus

Hey there, Gus!

I think there's always room for a 'lil more adventure!! ;)  Charming thought, it's much appreciated, kind sir!

I appreciate your visit and you taking the time... thanks for the well wishes on my 400th... I never would have thought I could do that!.. It still is mind boggling..

Thanks again and I hope to see you again soon!

It's one of the reasons why Scotland is on my bucket list!!! I like a good Scotch, too! lol...
😋 Yum!


Thanks for the not so subtle reminder... heh heh heh.... loved it.

Our uncle is retired military and he still works out everyday. He swears there is nothing like soaking tired muscles with a drink in your hand. We may have a drink afterwards, but we would probably the the first to drown in a bathtub after only one drink. Your description is so descriptive as if you're making love to every sip. Tight  

Thanks for that awesome compliment, Me. Your Uncle has a killer way to recoup from his daily workout, that's for sure... lol... I'm with you, I'd be under the table with just one...😂

Glad you enjoyed reading... cheers! 🥃

Whew! Well, that was a delicious read. 🔥 How the hell am I supposed to concentrate on working now?? 🤪
❤️k

Ohhh k, that silky burn MUST be shared!! 😉

It's beyond awesome to have you visit, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading your NaPo poems, it was such a wonderful treat... I was immersed in such great talent... it was amazingly mesmerizing!!! Just fyi....

Thanks for the mouthwatering kind words... hahaha.. I hope it wasn't much of a distraction but maybe it made for a nice faux "liquid lunch".... lmao!! 😂

Glad you dug it - cheers, dear lady!!

I very seldom drink. And if she needs one to be with me, she's thinking of someone else....

But after, Gentleman Jack with 3 cubes and then, unstirred, amaretto.  I want to taste the differences in a single mouthful. And, that melting, and then the mingling, only slightly diluted....I like taste.

On my plate, the laste bite is the best bite, so I save those tidbits I most cherish.

In bed, the exact same aesthetic. Taste above all in the cherished proportions.

lol.... You made me literally laugh out loud, RT! I seldom drink either, it's maybe once or twice a year (give or take) but I have definitely developed an affinity, when I do partake!

Ohhh yes, to cherish those tastiest bits, absolutely! ... it's another way to build anticipation.... and heighten those sensations!

Maybe it's not about needing one to be with you but about her liking the feel of an occasional cocktail.... the exposure... that slow smokey change.... The heated, tingly sensation that both sipping her cocktail of choice, like an old fashioned and being in your presence can create.... doubled the intensity... a little bit risky... playful...

Just my thoughts..

I am dreamily pondering your last two sentences -  
Always leave 'em wanting more....Mmm.
heh heh heh 😈
Thanks for stopping by... yours remain some of my favorite visits.

Yeah, I'm not really one to mince words.

When someone
Tells me that
He'd really like
To jump her,

I think,
How crass
To make
A dash;

I'd rather
Spend the evening
Sucking chrome
Right off
Her bumper!

Understood... loud and clear.
👍🏻

Dear BV,

Make mine a double, please! Smokey, woodsy, peaty,
delicious-y. I really enjoyed the details in this write. I could almost smell the aroma. But I’ve been known to have these hallucinations before. 😏
Congratulations on #400. That is a tremendous accomplishment! Well done and brava! H🌷

🥃*tink*🥃

I knew I could count on you!!!
Absolutely comin' right up!! ✌🏻 A double, it is!! ;)

I'm beyond thrilled that you felt this viscerally...  
I was hoping that it all came through, so thank you .. Also much thanks on my benchmark... It still leaves me awed, Honoria... I tell you, in all seriousness, I never in a million years thought that I could write decent poetry much less 400 different ones!! (not that they're all decent... I wound never be so bold to think that!) I mean, Holy cow! 🤪😱🤯🐮 I know there are much more prolific writers here, which makes me speechless but I am fully grateful for simply making it to this 400th poem, the opportunities I've had here and the deep appreciation that I've developed for the writing process and those who take the time to leave their thoughts, encouragements and extremely helpful laughs with me.... I'm very very lucky!  

We'll have to find a happy hour one day, dear lady!!
Until then, a very heartfelt cheers! 🥃

Wow B...

The depths of sensory engagement
in this piece are astonishing...

Beautiful & brilliant...

Gleaming with ice cube cool & sophistication...

May you write many more beautiful works of art...

Hee hee hee...
I'm not a big drinker at all but when I do, I swing for the fences.... haha...

Thank you for the lovely sentiments and the generously kind list add. I am beaming!

Cheers! 🥃

Love it how you seem to bring a little bit of yourself into the mix. Can never completely relax when reading this. There's something uneasy about it, like past regrets the whiskey, sorry bourbon, oh hell, what is it? is bringing out.  
Lol. See...I'm all mixed up!

Thanks for the kind visit and for leaving me with your thoughts. It's much appreciated! I wasn't regretful while writing, so that's certainly interesting and one of the reasons why I enjoy poetry, –the subjectivity that artwork can bring!

Warm regards,
🌹 B

Congrats on the 400 poems.  Then you must do something wild and crazy.  Get down with your bad self.  Keep on writing you strong beautiful smart sexy woman.  👙

Thank you so much for that congrats, Francisco!! It's always smile making to have you visit and leave such kind words!

You're awesome ;)
🌹 -

You are truly welcome. ❤️

#400 _ Salute!

A much more impassioned and descriptive appreciation of bourbon. My creativity would have resulted in, " the belt of bourbon went down smooth and it F'ed me up!".   Your verses are much more elaborate and discernible.

Our notes indicate bourbon makes you more pliable!  : )

heh heh... Maybe your notes are correct maybe not?? 🤷🏻‍♀️.... (ohh the mystery???!!)

😏---😉

Thank you for the kind words, dear Leo.
I deeply appreciate a fine stiff 🧐 cocktail 🥃, to be certain. Yet, I partake only sparingly... I really enjoy savoring those different inflections of flavor on my tongue and the brilliant warmth that softly makes it's way throughout.... my body.
;)

It's a pleasurable joy, L

That Poem Was So Ah Diddling, which, means also self calming. And, me too as I read. I looked forward to the next line.

Good evenin' Birchel :)
Ahh, cheers 🥂 to your very fine and extremely kind comments. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for taking time out to read and add my to your RL.. That's very generous, indeed.

I'm so glad you enjoyed!
lovely to meet you -

I will drink to your 4th Century this weekend with a bottle of Rum- umm correction, shot of Rum
and without the rocks,
but unfortunately it will not do justice to your excellent verse
-CIU

Mmm.
Warmth spreading smokey aftertaste.
Lovely way to celebrate 400.
(Wild Turkey Long Branch is one of my favorites)

I completely concur and I've just added that Wild Turkey Long Branch to my shopping list, dear KP
Cheers! 🥃

Thank you for the recommendation
and for stopping by.

I’m a sentimental, not a connoisseur. Wild Turkey is what my Grandpa liked. Long Branch is where I was born.🙏

Awww, love that, KP. I totally relate, too. That's why I like to drink Dewars White label every so often; my dad introduced me to scotch (only that particular Dewars) which I used to loathe now I wholly enjoy it's depth (along with bourbon, too.) When I drink his favorite scotch out of his favorite cocktail glasses, it's almost like he's here with me...... What a comfort.

Thank you for sharing with me.

Loved it…

Thank you.

Read this a couple of times because my mind went somewhere else, as if it was all metaphorical and thought about when I used to drink.

Either way, it's an intriguing piece filled with vivid details and descriptions, like expertise - I'd thought you'd be a connoisseur or an excellent sales person.

Sold!

You make this wine drinker desire something stronger and with fire. The bourbon feeling you celebrate is a flavor told in words that feel good to go down as I read. I have never ever come across a bourbon poem as luscious and delectable as this. You made the taste come alive with sensations so delicious I am enthralled.
