THE BEST BITTER

POETRY
.
My favorite bitter then
the name had Flower(s),
I had an Abbot Ale instead
it wasn't bad either.
.
He could be in twenty years to go
what I was twenty years ago.
.
I could have chosen the maiden
flower all the way,
I chose instead the farewell
flower as an ashtray.
.
He could be in twenty years to go
what I was twenty years ago.

    Hello:
    Such a poignant piece of writing, reflecting on past and future. The boy you were, the man he will become. Beguiling!

    Bueno, la comida del gastrobus en realidad no es tan basura puesto que utilizan productos frescos del mismo mercado, eso si, mi elnombre también me pareció peculiar para lo que es :)!
    Muy bonito y muy inspirado.

    Girls in kindergarten, in school, and then in university must have been enthralled by you.

    Poignant - but fresh and direct too.
