“Draught”
I forgot to sup
Annoyance
From his glass full of
Mingled dread and rage
Now let me take
A small draught of solace
From my own little cup
Full of predicaments !

I wonder how it tasted?... Your cup full of predicaments that is!!.... This is very creative piece of work Munia, again the undercurrent tone of despair or sadness is very touching, the poem is bit dark also.. nice

Shall I drink this potion straight as a shot ...or sip it ? It goes straight to my head whichever way I take it. Like all great Poetry...

This is an unbelievable write Munia. Your antithesis here is just superb. This is all I have to say. The comparison of stanza 1 & 2 is pure magic and music metaphor and form. The single cup full is transformed like turning a piece of clothing inside out. A remarkable comparison that is very very striking to read. The abstracts are handled wonderfully with the solid concrete image of the cup. Well Don Munia. Hurrah. I love to read poetry that is so well written. A poet friend//RH Peat

Wow, you really have me at a loss for words. This is so eloquently written and is constructed beautifully. Every line is truly a masterpiece on it's own! Very well done, Munia. :)

Very creative and not a word wasted. Amazing! your choice of words and arrangement. Reads perfectly with the right stops to allow pauses to digest the full meanings.

the context and the subtle usage of words makes this a worthy poem to re-read.

Ha ha... Perfect. It's always best to record the results of prior events, even if it's just for posterity's sake.
