Adolessence

Adolessence
Fermented grape;
Of those grapes,
Nectar that we partake,
And we amorous drunks
Dine upon fine wine-
O what a substanceless sustenance,
Effervescent countenance,
And we amorous drunks
Pulsate - shameless life,
Feed, in endless succession, the young mind,
With veins of sparkling liquor,
And we amorous drunks

adolessence--adolescence

This was a well portrayed peice. I enjoyed the read. Most definantly a good first post. I have one suggestion, and that's to remove the third line. The third repetition holds no purpose.

Yes, well... see it is the "essence" of "adolescence". I thought that was particularly clever. I was thinking about removing the repitition... but I like how it adds emphasis to my main idea. Although I guess I don't need them repreated, I could just leave it on the third stanza.

Better than saying adolescent essence, eh? I get you. The third repitition is of course your choice to keep. It may very well be different in the eyes of others. Either way, I hope you stay moderate here.

I like this poem. I like the rhythm and how it rhymes. I always admire rhymes that work. I can see why you wouldn't want to take out that third line. Every stanza has four lines and there's a rhythm there. I really like your repeated like at the end of each stanza.

Well done!
Cheers

The repetition works in this, as it does indeed hammer home the main idea of the poem. This piece was actually very good, and gets better each time I read it.

I like it, but your word choice sometimes makes the lines a little cumbersome. However, 'cumbersome' seems to be my word-of-the-day, so you can ignore that.
