Aerodynamically designed

and leaning near the bar

I'm drawn buy your finesse and patience

~

One step closer

standing

just out of reach

my murky heart grows darker

and in only moments

I catch your eye

~

Your brow lifts

to hinder a bead of sweat

and the corner of your lip

curls

in anticipation

~

Just before reaching out

with your firm but gentle touch

my heart fills

with a bubbling

effervescence

~

My head lightens

~

I'm black

~

I'm beautiful

~

I'm Guinness

~~~

Hey, I love glasses of the 'Black Stuff'.
I read this earlier today, and had to hit The Earl Of Derby, as my poetic juices were aroused.
You do her proud, and Guinness now owe you advertising fees.
Pour until the glass is two thirds full. Wait for one minute(at least). Pour till full, leaving a 10cm head, flourished with a shamrock. Then, wait till the head and the nectar are divided by a scalpel-sharp line, and drink.(always order the next drink a few minutes early) I guess that is preaching to the converted?

Rex Allen, Rex Allen, you have returned!

A delightful poem, and oh my, we share two loves--poetry and Guiness.

It is grand to read you again, lovie.

Sorry it took me so long to buy you a round.

I thing it is a little difficault to understand, but it is very strong, i like it, but it's a little messy some places.

Zaineb ... it helps to be Irish or at least addicted to Guinness
A bartender told me that he could tell a persons nationality by the number of rings in an empty glass of Guiness (each time you take a drink then leave it sit a while, another ring forms in the glass)
An Irishman leaves about 5 or 6 rings.
An Englishman leaves about 10 rings.
An American leaves about 25 to 30 rings.
an Austrailian dosen't leave any.

Mmmm, guiness!

I like the ring story, too. Although I can say, that as a woman of Irish decent, I can't leave more than 5 rings on my glass. lol
