Moonshine Mountain You

A 10 Proof Moonshine

My drinks not real, how are you?

My ten shoes choose shine they choose you

In the taste of the Moonshine you’re starlight proof

My hearts not groomed its raw on you

It’s simple you see with my eyes on you

I’d rather wake to the mountain dew

Sparkled skies and windy dreams

With rocky cliffs and fired eyes

loving songs daylight drifts

I’d hike the mountain in a sprite with you

Only to find in morning waters mountain dew dream dry

But still – Id rather – a crush on you

Then losing another drink to that silly moon

I dont know if it was your intention, but I found it to be rambling and disjointed. It was well suited to it and i felt as if the character/author was indeed intoxicated. it was raw and i liked that.

this poem feels like it could easily be a song by how the lines flow with every word. it sounds like someone who is intoxicated is singing this which i don't know if you intended but it elevates the poem! thanks for sharing :)

How did the writer create that drunken sing-song delivery? Try and be a little specific
