The Evening Is Dreary Poem by Juan Olivarez

The Evening Is Dreary

Rating: 5.0


The evening is dreary,
The clock on the wall,
Approaches midnight.
Thinking, just thinking,
Seated in my lazy chair.
Dozing, slightly, dozing.
My eyes running lazily,
Over mr. Poe's words.
A glass,
Of Presidente Brandy,
Dark amber fire,
Sits on the table,
Next to the half full,
Bottle.
An Arturo Fuentes, curly head,
Burns arromatically,
In the ashtray of petrified wood.
Rain hits the window pane,
Somebody knocks on my door.

If I could mi hermano I'd give this one a triple-ten! You've touched my soul. I was drinking Presidente last night! LOVE the stuff. I so understand these your thoughtful, deep words. What a wonderful poem. Can't praise it enough. This is the kind of poetry I seek, yet so seldom find. Bueno mi amigo. Long live el Presidente. Now, if we ever meet, I know exactly what drink to buy you! ! ! Keep writing like this pard, the world, and myself, need it.
