Tincture of Anise
Fragrance of Fennel
The Wormwood Illusion...
Inspires Brilliance
Creates an Edge
Changes the Spectrum to a single Color!
Slowly the Sirenesque Echoes draw you in.
Dancing through your veins
Seducing your brain
Reality strained
Finally..... The silent refrain.
La Fe'e Verte...La Fe'e Verte...La Fe'e Verte....

Banned for import since 1895.
One can now purchase Absinthe legally in the US.
The active drug in the herb Wormwood called Thujone,
was thought to induce hallucinations, and eventually Drain Bammage!
A customer knew of my fascination with the beveridge,
And laid this bottle on me today...
Just what I need!!!
Do you have any poetry or prose laying around and it happens to be Wednesday?
Post it on your blog, then go tell the very talented crew at...
um may want to hold off on that drink g...at least write us one more 55 first...smiles.
ReplyDeleteI'd hate to have bammage to my drain.
ReplyDeleteHope you didn't drink too much of that stuff
a green One Shot

Loved your poem this week, G. Kind of gave me chills, with that chant at the end, sort of sinister feel to it...deliciously dangerous!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried this bevvie, myself. A hallucinogenic substance or three might be lurking in my past, but I'm strictly a beer and wine girl these days...
Have a drink for me, okay? :)

ReplyDeleteyou in a flight of fantasy!

loved the poem, smiling again with this visit, but it sounds like trouble is brewing for someone :)
ReplyDeleteMakes a great holiday gift for that hard-to-shop-for relative.
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty, but I think I'll give that beverage a pass. My brain's already endangered.:)
ReplyDeleteNow I know why the goats like to eat my wormwood plant! What an excellent ode!
ReplyDeleteMine is here. http://razzamadazzle.wordpress.com/2010/11/02/silent-night/
oh sweet fancy moses.....what could this lead you to cook up?
ReplyDeleteThe beginning made me think of the witches of Endor; by the end I was at the Old Absinthe House bar in New Orleans. Quite a tour,t his one is. Good poem.
ReplyDeletelovely poem, lovely drink..
ReplyDelete--Someone Is Special--
It's gorgeous... I once knew someone who distilled his own (yes - I know that's illegal but I was young and stupid back then) It always made me giggle when I drank it.
ReplyDeleteYou ARE going to go through the full ceremony with the sugar and the slotted spoon and all that, aren't you?
Oh man!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will not swallow much of that... We need your Thursday Portrait and write the FFF on Friday, so take care, and drink it after that!
:)
LOL
Great one- you!
Remember put a screen and sugar cubes in it before you pour. and don't drink until you feel like Edgar Allen Poe.
ReplyDeleteGreen huh? Yikes I think I recall that stuff from somewhere in my past- the
ReplyDelete'Bammage and drain' was great...
rollicking good in fact!
wow, what an awesome gift!! only fitting it should be given to such an amazing poet as yourself. what tales you will tell if ever you decide to drink this!!
ReplyDeleteJust remember - drink it in moderation ;)
ReplyDeleteI'll take that bottle off your hands, G-Man... just so you can avoid the temptation, of course!
ReplyDeleteAnother nifty One Shot... see ya Friday!

ReplyDeletenice customers you have :=)
ReplyDeleteif i drink enough of my red wine it will start to dance through my veins as well...smiles..happy one shot galen!
Enjoy. Never tasted the stuff and most likely never will. Throw one back for me.
ReplyDeleteOh, nice one, Galen. So, is it true? Did you try it? Does it really taste like licorice? I see a post coming...
ReplyDelete"G-Man, Under the Influence" - Can't wait!
We'll be watching for an absinthe-soaked 55 on Friday, G-Man!
ReplyDelete(Hey, that gives me an idea...)
Why in God's name would a dangerous drug be re-introduced?
ReplyDelete<3
ReplyDeleteOh yeah.
Ah, Absinthe. For when someone wants to take it up just another little notch. Great poem and a great drink introduction--take it easy on that stuff. That wormwood can bring about some odd experiences.
ReplyDeleteyuck, I have drank a fair share of alcolollic bevvies in my time, but this one is NOT on my list. Enjoy!
