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.

To specify, in other words, i.e., por ejemplo... Art thou familiar with the phenomenon concerning pre-threshold drunken coordination? As in the loose lucidity of a perfect buzz at the pool table. The confidence without the stumbly fall-downedness with darts. The gumption without the sucktion on the golf course. Bowling mojo without... Okay, if you don't get the picture then my paintbrush is broken. Author's notes and comments Schmoetryst

Lately We haven't been very active here at DP lately -- an ode to you, jobs and families. We certainly appreciate your contributions and try to keep up with reading any posts. Summer is coming and that usually means a new inspiration for words, even if only due to soaking in sun and beer. Lets hear it! We've also seen some activity from The Young Minstrels who are also contributing here. Check them out. Words are good. Keywords are Important Keywords are used when someone searches for contributions. When you create a new contribution, add keywords that relate.
