Lovely essence poem. I can see it has two lines with six syllables per line, each containing an internal rhyme and an ending rhyme. You did well to follow those instructions.
I would simply say Great Work but the bots won't let me.

    Thanks for reviewing. These essence poems are just as hard to review as the 5-7-5. The review has to be longer then the work.

I very much like this. For a short poem and a few words, it can tell an endless amount of stories. The picture goes great with it as well. Very nice job (:

I love the picture. I love the poem. It is a good reminder that we must pay for our actions. Do everything in moderation. Great work.

I like this one very much. The internal and end rhymes are great. The qualifications for the Essence poem contest are met. The words are subtly amusing. Good job!

Your poem is in excellent essence poetry form with two six syllable rhyming lines and
good end-rhyme of fine/mine.
You have made your internal rhyme rhyme within each line - wine/fine and red/head lead, though customarily in this particular form internal rhyme means two words within each line rhyme with each other.
Since your interpretation of the term is what internal rhyme means in all other cases, I don't fault you for this.
I also like the humor in your poem :-) Brooke

    Thanks. I think I might have screwed up with that internal rhyme, but I'm afraid it might be considered cheating if I fix it now. Thanks for the great review.

Great attempt of an essence poem. you have external rhyme and perfect 6 syllable count on each of the lines but unfortunately forgot the internal rhyme couplets and is why i granted 4 stars.

GL in the competition.

    Ah, if only I hadn't misinterpreted that! I could have drank red wine and been in bed with that lead head. Oh well, I'll know next time. Thanks for clueing me in.

Very clever and I sure know the feeling. To be ultra picky, it's a shame you didn't make it clearer that the second line's effects didn't arrive til next morning, but with the syllable restriction, I reckon that's impossible...and it's pretty obvious anyway.

Maybe [Morn' red] but it's excellent as it is

Nice one.

Good luck and best wishes, earl

    Haha, I think everyone knows the feeling. I thought the title explained that the second line happened in the morning, just in case there's someone who doesn't know. lol, thanks for the stars.

    I apologise, as I forgot the title which indeed explains things very well

"...There's got to be a morning after..." Oh the pain. Good job on the poem and not only great imagery - I can feel the hurt - ouch! Take a painless five. Mebbe, the grip of the grape would be far better from the fruiterer :o)

This is a very good poem that really tells the effects of too much wine. I am rating this on the content of the poem as I am confused on the requirements of the structure. I thought the internal rhyme was to be an internal word on the first line that rhymes with an internal word on the second line. But I'm not sure. That being said, this is a well written poem. I wish you luck in the contest.

    You could be right. I'd never heard of an essence poem till this morning. I saw the prompt and decided to give it a try. Thanks for the stars.
