whisky-in-the-jar creaks dreams open wide
breathing whisper-spiced breezy peppered-bliss
bubble-kicking shimmer-dance twists, flickers and grins
springing cue-scarred dawn-rosy spilling ghost giggles
skipping still leaves spark-drizzled fear storms
free hope melts shadow-clouds curling balloon sounds
echoing scarred-green journey’s to lull all the words home again

Wonderful!
Ah, creative use of hyphens. Lovely.
Playfully fun
…all the words home again…
LOVE IT!
Nicely played with all the words. Enjoy the distilleries,
I did tastings on a journey last weekend. Add a little water
and so many different tastes rise.
Loooooove it. Last line is fantastic. And this is just delicious:
“breathing whisper-spiced breezy peppered-bliss”
Nice one, Paul! I love the reference to one of my favourite folk songs (also by the wonderful Thin Lizzy). Great use of hyphens!
Some wonderful word-play in this poem, Paul.
You make me feel very very thirsty Paul… so many good tastes to explore.
What fun, Paul! This is wonderful.
I like this- I feel like whisper-spiced and peppered-bliss could be synonyms in some alternate universe.
Homebound..I specially like: whisper-spiced breezy peppered-bliss~
The whiskey in the jar .. creaking dreams open wide (or wide open)… yup! I can relate to that! Wonderfully done! (Where’ve you been, by the way?)
Running a rhythmical training for 65 folk and then being trained along with 16 others to begin work as a new global team..then two days in Islay drinking whisky. Need to lie down now.
Wow! Good for you 🙂
