Lifted Spirits

Writer: Graham PitcherGraham Pitcher


Lost in the corner

Forgotten for an age

Vintage drinks cabinet

With the mirrored stage

Full of old spirits

Locked out of sight

Bohemian cut glasses

Twinkle in the light

Hints of past glory

Stirred with a twist

Silver cocktail shaker

Flick of the wrist

‘Between the sheets’

Brandy with rum

‘Large Green Dragon’

Gin, orange and some

Tools of the barman

Lost and found

Soda Syphon, Ice crusher

Olive stoner, Umbrella ….

Jigging around

Go on, Open the door

Turn the key

To lift the spirits

It’s no time for tea!
