Green Fairy Poem by Eric Niehoff
Green Fairy
It is green and translucent
Filled with mystery
It was enjoyed by the opulent
Throughout our history
It’s distilled with 3 herbs
Including wormwood
Negative ad campaigns
Made it misunderstood

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Absinthe (the 'green fairy' as it has been referred to) became illegal because of a negative ad campaign funded by the wine industry in France in the early 1900s. It has now become legal in most of western Europe but still remains illegal in the US because of FDA standards.
