Suitably manly

At the end of every rainbow there is a pot of gold, or something like that anyway. ;)

Well, heck every treasure trail should have treasure at the end! If not..the adventure shall cntinue further down the trail :kiss:
 
Mmmmmm...you keep getting better and better.

Never disappointing:heart::heart:.

Always suitably manly. :devil::devil:
 
I've been appallingly neglectful.

Speaking Terms by Simon Armitage

This is not the blanket of night,
it is a poor advert for it.

Through the action of the wind
The clouds appear slashed, longwise,
into rough black shapes, like the remnants
of a poster stripped from a window.

We must be driving west because
the furthest hilltop cuts a broken line
against the fading light. Picturesque,
a talking point, except

words being what they are
we wouldn't want to lose the only sense
we can share in: silence.
I could say the clouds

are the action of our day
stopped here to evidence
the last four hundred miles
like a mobile, hardly moving.

But I ask you the time
and you tell me, in one word, precisely.
 
If I could form coherent thought I'd say something really pithy, but damn if I'm not tongue tied.

Not a poem exactly, but could be. And festive too!

So Much Wine by The Handsome Family

I had nothing to say on Christmas Day
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
When you burnt your hair, knocked over chairs
I just tried to stay out of your way

But when you fell asleep
With blood on your teeth
I got in my car and drove away

Listen to me, Butterfly, there's only so much wine
You can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass

Where the state highway starts, I parked my car
I got out and stared up at the stars
As meteors dived and shot across the sky
I thought about your sad, shining eyes

I came back for my clothes
When the sun finally rose
But you were still passed out on the floor

Listen to me, Butterfly, there's only so much wine
You can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass

I love this so much. Even more than your reflections in the mirror.
 
I've drifted away from lit....and look what I've been missing!
Thank goodness I've returned to my senses...and lit!
