Pale ale

Samurai IPA You're down with post-holiday blues
That you numb with seasonal brews
Whose bitter yet cool aftertaste
Helps you through this trying phase.

Lager

A hundred minute bubbles
form and rise from your parched tongue
with each pull of chilled amber
all sorrows drowned before long.

Lee

Newcastle-upon-Tyne Running away from the light
at the end of the tunnel
not looking back, desperate
to escape to the dark bliss
of nothingness.

Taglamig

Sinisipol ng hangin
Ang niyebeng gatudlok
Na nakakapuwing ma'y
Pagkurap mo'y tunaw rin.

Westerly

Like an unanchored boat gently pulled
By the ebbing tide of a grey sea
Which draws the cruel and drowns all fools
I feel you drifting away from me.

A whirlwind you were that came and went
Could never be caught, forever free
But I'm grateful for the time we've spent
On that summer tryst and autumn spree.

Uncharted

I know the graphics are great
that the plot is engaging
smooth as silk the rendering
and the sounds quite amazing.

But I'm sure you know, sometimes
I just wish you'd find me as
interesting as your dodgammed
high-tech, blu-ray games console.

Moloko

Zizkov TV Tower Sitting in my fridge door
a half-full milk bottle
regrets you not having
stayed to finish it all.
