This is a good write, with a nice flow to it. It tells the story of someone who chooses to be a drunk over a woman, the only problem, I have is that it's not very original, but rather generic, it reminds me of a typical country song, but it is well written.

    Glad it reminds you of a Country song because that is exactly what it is, and, yes, it is quite original. I wrote it myself thank you.

Again five stars.

As you know you have talent, and will continue to write.

So here is another reason why I do what I do.

Another reason I do not have advice for someone when I find something to be less than five is that I am not qualified to tell someone where the mistakes are.

    I have all but decided to stop reviewing any more writings myself.

    Is this because of people such as I?
reply by the author on 13-May-2015
    Nope. It is because I am tired of being cussed out, yelled at, and threatened every time I give a 4-Star review for writings that are ripe with typos, need further development, and simply are not worthy of a 5-Star review, and will not change the 4-Star to a 5-Star simply because the writer demands I do so. If you wrote something and I thought it was less than a 5-Star I would rate it as such with no hesitation. Not being mean spirited simply trying to point out where improvements can be made.

    The piece from girffmang titled,

    575 words of Gratitude, shows why you are needed.

    I only have SPAGS.

    Think I will post a message that from now on I will only review a person's writing if they ask me to do so directly. Not worth the stress I am enduring otherwise. At least that is my current thought.

    I will give you points if you review mine, warning I am OCD or is that CDO?
reply by the author on 13-May-2015
    Write on and send me a note when you publish something. I will review yours, but I will do so exactly as I would anybody else's too. Fair enough?
reply by cbat on 13-May-2015
    Entirely, although I probably will never publish.

    Have a good day.
reply by the author on 13-May-2015
    You better publish something on this site. Will be looking for it.
reply by cbat on 13-May-2015
    I have much on site, but mine are true not much imagination, and always full of mistakes.

    Chamber pots & Pj's is general idea.

A poem that tells me that I am glad I never been in that situation. But you do make some poignant moments that I can concur that were possible. The poetics are excellent.

This is a well written poem It has good rhythm. It does tell a sad story, though. In one place you say I don't know why I ever let you go, then say let's celebrate you are gone. That is kind of contradictory, but I suppose you can feel both ways. I do like the picture. That is the way I would celebrate! :>D Miss Sally

Sounds like someone numbing the pain of a death. The celebration is sort of ironic, in that the person is celebrating that he/she has made without the other, but then is drowning in the whiskey. Nice flow and reads smoothly. Thanks for sharing. Les

    Don't forget he also has a fair in town he is then going to. It is definitely time to celebrate! Thanks for your comments.

Trying to forget the liquid way, set to song-verse. You can almost visualize this guy and you certainly can see where he is going.

I like the picture but it looks like a lot more fun than he is having.

Good posting.

    He is celebrating by slamming a few back then going to the fair. Thanks for your comments.

Break out the bottle, pop a top again, misery loves company, set 'em up Joe- is this a new theme? With a little slapknock on the meter, this could be great.
Excellent.

This is a great expression of trying to forget, but not wanting to.
This is human. Life goes on and we need strength to carry on.
A very well expressed piece of emotion.
Clear straight and saying the most important thing.
