Pool Halls, brawls and beer
by Gwen Dickerson → (All Poetry by Gwen Dickerson)

pool halls
filled with locals
wearing jeans and tees

favorite haunts
with peeling walls
filled with memories

of musty smells
of laughter...
and a few brawls!

their beer drinking days
visions they hold
so clear

their "good old days"
those crazy yesterdays
of pool halls, brawls and beer

Certainly this is vivid!

Too bad I myself am a sworn-off alcoholic (12 years sober)... this poem leaves me feeling bad. Of course, that being said, you have succeeded!

Bye for now,

Ahh now, i'd be saying a mis spent youth if i was to agree with you here, but apart from saying very well done for a very well crafted poem, i'm saying nothing...except of course, that was a while back and my manners have improved somewhat since then lol...take care and well done...Mark ...
