You spend our last pennies
Sitting on the wodden barstool
Worn from the termites
Eating away at its flesh
Your hands hold out our last dollars
For you to get one last drink
You suck it all up
Then blow the sickening stench
Of our last pennies on our faces
A stench that will forever haunt our minds
The bitter smell of copper
Our last few pennies

Ummmm...I like it but then I don't really get it, reminds me of a drunk.  But for some reson I just can't get into it, it's well written, just I dunno.

Read my work and read my thoughts
I'll go back into the night now

This poem seems to me to have many meanings depending on the person reading this piece. When I read it, it reminded me of my father, he is an alcoholic and reading how this character in your poem wastes his money on beer, and how you wrote about how he sat on the bar stool sounded like forever reminded me of my father.  I enjoyed it very much actually. I like poems that take time to figure out and that don't have to have just one meaning.  Good work

much love,
shea

Woah! I can smell it all the way over here! Very forceful poem, and I mean that in a good way! I liked it. "All I know is that I love you tonight." Getting alittle of track here but I like that song.
