I can't really add to what the others have said already, Joyce. This is one of your darker works. Excellently penned, but sad.

Liquid flame is disaster. 'The Midnight Hour' is magnificent. A great analogy of the rage of alcoholic consumption.

Joyce, good to see you on AD...I've missed you...This is a sad story of a person allowing the evils of alcohol to overtake his life and cause a terrible tragedy. You've done a great job expressing this in your poem...I enjoyed reading it.

It is impossible to quiet one's conscience forever or completely. A great tale told in perfect poetic form. Victor

It is a story that permeates all of human history ... in a rage - substance or emotionally induced - human nature lashes out at those around and after the storm subsides; regrets what it has done. Vivid!

Great write Joyce, and yet all too familiar filled with the abuse we all know too well that is rampaging this Godly given earth.

A bit spoky too...wonder if you all will ever find out.
Blessings to you friend and take good care,
