I wrote a poem a while back similar to this one in a lot of ways. The loneliless and failure our characters wear on there faces are very alike in many ways. The imagery once again was strong I could picture an old bar with smoke everywhere and jukebox music. Great work |
I liked the imagery in the poem. I'd say that was your strongest point throughout. You described everything quite vividly so that I could picture it clearly in my head. I liked the lines like "Slides it along the sweat encrusted counter" and "Stale stench of rough cigar smoke" cause they applied to more than one of the senses making it more reall and clear the state of the bar and emphasizes how you described it as old, tattered and dirty in the very first line. The descriptions definately make the bar seem like a real place rather than just simply saying it was a bar. |
I enjoyed reading this contemperary poem. The imagery of the bar sets the mood and the flow is flawless |
This is sad. but also good at the very same time. do you mean that this person has let go of their dreams and now sulks and lets life go by without them? like he's letting life get the best of him? |

This is actually a poem I never encountered before. The idea is original... |

This created a visual picture in my mind... Lol. You have painted the picture so well, of a drunk sitting in this dingy old bar room... dreaming of what life could have been. I found it very touching... especially the last line... |
