It was a beautiful startling moment.<br /><br />The poem being about eggnog alone was great too (especially "breath stealing, cream-colored stream") but then adding that other person and the flavor of bitter love gives it another layer of depth. And I like how that bad or bittersweet experience colors everything else in the speaker's life, including the simple wholesome enjoyment of a glass of eggnog. I do wish she'd have savored it to the last drop, bittersweetly, appreciative of what's there. But unfulfilled or unrequited love can make you throw the eggnog down the drain... though what a waste.HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-45596375878237878972011-12-07T17:19:09.040-08:002011-12-07T17:19:09.040-08:00aw, thank you dani. :) i'm incredibly honored...aw, thank you dani. :) i'm incredibly honored that you think it's so well done.barbie angellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708541834042912457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-35142988526419341762011-12-07T14:57:44.566-08:002011-12-07T14:57:44.566-08:00Hi Barbie & Dani

I love the stuff myself, & while I'm polite enough to leave some for others I don't pour it down the sink!<br /><br />Kat: Thanks for stopping by! & the fact that you were craving egg nog, despite your aversion to it is a testament to Barbie's considerable poetic powers! My word, tho, that stuff you linked to looks vile :)<br /><br />Zen: Amen to that--both your wish for Barbie, which I share with you, & your general thought about living life fully because it is, indeed, short.

And love, like life, may only be for a while, but we shouldn't long for it while it is in front of us.
