Inspiration Through Inebriation

Some of literature's most famous authors have been known to habitually over-consume, producing beautiful, enlightened or dark and melancholic works. DP serves as a repository, a community and a forum for the expression of lubricated creativity. You certainly do not need to be intoxicated to be welcome here. This is not a drunk-fest or college humor site, but drunks and college humorists are welcome. As is anyone else who wants to read some inspired words or contribute their own.

Please try to operate here with an honest, creative intent. Consider Drunken Poetry as a genre or style -- like Drunken Monkey is to Kung Fu. Words are powerful tools. Lets see what we can do with them.

Poem of the Moment Clicking Rhymes... The world stands a click away Why go through the door these days In this hostile society click... When we can enjoy indoor security The feel of things we know click... Reassuring somehow Why meet in the flesh click... Now that resolution can't be threshed It's harder to see the lies click... When we can't read the eyes What ? A real life ? Double click... ...Downloading... Told you ! It's there in that folder... Just a click away Author's notes and comments Damoiseau

We've Moved The previous host for DP was much to slow. We've moved to a new home and, after several days of hiccups, have finally returned. There is a bit of a different look here -- it was time for a change. We are still mulling over other ideas for DP. That will hopefully make it up here soon. If you posted any contributions during our transfer to the new host we did our best to keep the database in synch, but there are probably a few contributions that got orphaned in the shuffle. We are very sorry for any that are missing. We've already heard that there was at least one good one that we lost -- "Cheers to you, lost words..." We look forward to hearing your words. Keywords are Important Keywords are used when someone searches for contributions. When you create a new contribution, add keywords that relate. These can be how you felt when writing it, the style of the writing or categories that you feel the contribution would fit into. Some examples of keywords: poem, verse, story, limerick, life, love, adventure, depressing, happy, drinking, tequila, beer, food
