Bottom Of The Bottle Comments

This is a very well written and expressive poem, Caroline, and portrays quite accurately how those who are 'hooked' on the bottle often feel. Friends and co-worked often notice the 'buzz' a person feels, and most excessive drinkers don't realize that for a good while. Being dependent on the bottle to relieve personal pain is growing more and more common these days, especially with under-age drinkers. But it effects even little old widows and widowers as well, who miss their spouse or have the aches and pains that growing older alone may bring. You have written a fine poem on a difficult subject, and done it very well. Carl.

A very good write. You paint the picture so very well..10
