Cynnie,

What I appreciate most about your poetry as of late is the honesty. You've dismissed a lot of whimsical ideas and began focusing on what's around you. This allows the reader to understand what you are speaking about as most of the images are visible to them in their own surroundings.

As usual I admire your technique, the alliteration was on point and your play on words clever. Though not by definition, I liked the close relationship between words, like wine and whines, bucket and bucket lists.

I have been reading your poetry and Facebook quotes as of late and I have such an urge to dig deeper into your thoughts and unravel them.

I think you mean 'catalyst'.
It's so refreshing to see someone using a word outside of the literary world and incorporating it in a poem. And it serves well your purpose, especially with 'alcohol'.
I love it.
