One Single Impression: Empty
Friend
Merlot is my comfort
I shall not want
Though I am old and blue
There when I need
My glass is near empty
I shall not want
For sure there is some more
Where that came from
My thoughts once bad dissolve
Night's fright is calmed
A friend may come to call
None ever writes
And if our bottle's dry
We shall not want
For sure there are some more
Where this came from
Merlot is my comfort
I shall not want
Though I am old and blue
There when I need
My glass is near empty
I shall not want
For sure there is some more
Where that came from
My thoughts once bad dissolveNight's fright is calmed
A friend may come to call
None ever writes
And if our bottle's dry
We shall not want
For sure there are some more
Where this came from

I am still on the road (first Quebec City, Canada, now Montreal) doing holiday time. I won't have much time to answer your comments until later this week but I do really appreciate them and in knowing you came.

I love the way you use the bottle to represent your meaning in this.
A Merlot can be a good friend (for a little while anyway.)
Well away from bottles.. I like the way you open up the bottle of your feelings.. they just flow.. well done.. Jim..will wait for your visit..
ah.. for certain there is more where that came from..! :)

I like this clever and fun poem...your style reminds me of a proverb or spiritual verse.
