Hot Rum

[ramfire]

Hot demon rum is going to ruin me.
I like it too much says she.
Drunk, you act horribly.
I know, I know but why break free?
You’re here on my knee,,
Rum and you ‘tis all that matters
I like it too much says she.
Can’t have both she blathers.

i was watching live by night the other day which goes into some of Ybor City's past with the rum runners and the mob and the violence. It was interesting, to say the least. sad that it wasn't filmed in Tampa but anyway. sometimes you have to choose though between the addiction and other things.

Thanks for giving my poem a read. Glad you stopped by and left your note.

an interesting piece - i felt a little like i was missing the context for it but nonetheless thought you did a great job.

Sounds as if you have her or rum. Pay your money and take your chose. Enjoyed this.

I'm midway through "world gone by" by dennis lehane. It's the follow up to "live by night"( which itself is a sequel). This poem and Chelles following reply fit the vibe of the set of novels. Lovely poem and well done on the spotlight. Loved it

I could relate to the poem, as I used to be in the grips of alcohol. Im grateful for getting free! Thank you
