The Last Drink
Giving It Up in Three Haikus
Note: just to nip this in the bud, I do not have a problem with alcohol, but I have seen the effects of dipsomania and addiction in certain relatives and friends. It might seem odd for a Smooth challenge, but I think I have made a point. - K.D.
Cool and refreshing;
But hard to give up…for her.
Tastes great; less filling.
This Bud’s for you, sir…

Creative and true. A tough subject to write about. You did it very well.
Excellent poem. Unfortunately, all too true to life.
I shed a tear. This is beautifully done. 🩵👏🏼
I have an older brother that I watched go through it. Hard to witness, but an important lesson. You made the point very well.
Several of my relatives have had this problem. Not a pretty sight. Well done!
Well done!
I've seen this go both ways! Nicely made point.
That was a very positive ending! I loved your set of Haikus!
