Poems About Alcohol by Top Critiquers

Diana woke with a hangover.
She saw herself naked in a mirror.
Then, she remembered Derek's party.
They were celebrating finally graduating from college.
She and Luke gulped one too many.

There are a lot of reasons why I write
I am curious for this dark matter
Because I like shooting
I take psychedelic snapshots
Because I need to get my fill of heroin

These days I am reading for other reasons though
Well I find my life unfullfilling in the brothel
So in order to escape
And to avoid the numb
These days I get regularly drunk.

you pulled me over (to you)
asked me for my name
told me I was being detained
didn’t tell me why
but said you could do it anyway
told me to follow you with my eyes
and to walk the line
I did everything you said
After all of your tests…
You told me to blow hard
Not to stop until you said…
But you never said stop!
