Question: Once in a blue moon, the perfect line comes along!. Have I gotten one!?
*****
American Idle
by TD Euwaite

I’ll have another
waitress-mother
bring me absinthe
scented heather
barley malted
bravery
in a glass

Send me to slumber
in a corner
where I can moan
and I can blubber
in elegantly
spoken
poetry

Light up my reefer
in the sleeper
send in Goddesses
and keepers
to stay me far away
from myself

And as I snore here
in my undies
with emos, trolls
and fundies
wake me when the
princess comes to
call

So it turned out all right after all!. Patience is not a poet's greatest commodity, but with a bit of it, out pops "elegantly spoken poetry!." And, you see, some good comes out of the emos, trolls and jesters sometimes, or to coin another cliche, "every cloud has a silver lining!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

Another of the very few good poems here!.!.!.!. Kudos!

But it's strange that so many here (apparently you as well) cannot distinguish between a line and a stanza!. You have a good last stanza here, not a good line!. And that first stanza is good, too!.

Only one small thing---I'd probably delete or change the "I can" in "and I can blubber!."

Good for you!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It must have been a blue moon last night; everything about this one is perfect -- from the title all the way down!. I'd tell you good job, but you're not here for flattery and you hear it all the time anyway !. !. !.ah screw it -- good job!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love it as a whole, i love each Stanza, but i too crack up at "undies and fundies" Only you could come up with that!.
and if i understand it right the last stanza would make more sense in the R&S SectionWww@QuestionHome@Com

If you are talking about "!.!.!. absinthe scented heather
barley malted bravery in a glass" then, yes, that's a great line!. The others aren't too shabby either, but this one is my favorite!.

what are fundies!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not bad but like one of you answers, pass the pipe and I quit smoking!. also what is fundies, I know what undies are but they are useless in bed!. Even the spell checker does not like fundies!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
