Golden Brew Poem by Darlene Walsh

Golden Brew

Rating: 2.3


Golden brew, every day I start with you
Golden brew, without you what would I do
Liquid gold, happy am I, with you no rue
Liquid life, strong am I, to myself am true

You lighten my day, you bring me cheer
And always do for those I hold dear
They need me now, I'll be right there
What do you mean it was yesterday dear

I'm always there
I'll bring good cheer
I'm reliable and care
But I'm not sure where

Other people come first
Once I quench my thirst
What ever you would durst
I never show my worst

I'll do every thing I can
If I can remember when
When you need me I'll be there then
Some even think I'm a comedian

I meant to do it
I'll get to it soon
I didn't mean to hurt you
Why do you cry

I don't have a problem
It's your fault, not mine
If you would all stop complaining
I'll be just fine

durst (dûrst) ► • v. Archaic A past tense and a past participle of dare. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Darla, I don’t speak Archaic! ============================================ For the readers’ sake, I would like to see the title or the body of the poem, OR BOTH give a clue as to the topic of the poem i.e. your father’s behavior as an alcoholic. if I hadn’t read the poet’s note, I’d have been clueless. Other readers might think, as I wrongly did at first, that the poem is about YOU, which didn’t make sense to me. and I wasn’t completely sure if yellow brew was beer or pee! REALLY! I think you probably did very well expressing some of the thoughts and words of an alcoholic. bri :) to MyPoemList

I'm not a heavy drinker as well, but Duras said that drinking is an attempt to fill in the blank of the Universe...* *
