Excellent A poem depicting loneliness, addiction and despair The drinkers journey by Nellys1983 The Drink Poetry writing prompt entry Artwork by Renate-Bertodi at FanArtReview.com

I walk alone in the dark night Bottle of beer In One hand  Cigarette in the other And the remnants of last nights  Party trickles down my nose. The silent words of depression  Whisper through my weeping soul Beckoning me as it calls I drown myself in a beer storm As the blistering breeze blows I’m lost in the wilderness  Walking a thinning fine line Alcoholism or sanity  One keeps the other at bay Brown, orange finger tips From lightning to many fags, My voice a raspy cough my skin; ashen, haggard. grey. Writing Prompt Write a poem. You (or your character) take a sip of a drink and feel different. What happens?
