Excellent poem, I meant to review all the poems entered in the contest but missed this one by mistake. Your words are compelling, fascinating and describe a slightly dangerous world.
Congrats on your second place finish (from the third place finisher :)
I like this, and I really don't care for all free verse poetry. Nice job! I wish I could write free verse like that!

I love the picture. I love the poem. The bottle cap did not protect you. Oh well, this is another night and the next bottle cap might help. I doubt it though. Good poem.

Sure there ain't more than one bottle cap tucked beneath that sofa cushion. guess, i will look at a bottle cap in a different way for now on. The red on black background makes it reader friendly for these old eyes. Very amusing poem. Just by analyzing a simple bottle cap.
My favorite quatrain.
a peppermint schnapps top
but of course--I remember
it's that cap
from days of yore
before my core became sore
I was a fool with a bottle cap to blame
I give a six pack of bottle caps for originality, poise, creativity and grip factor. I'm sure there is a few more tucked in there Mr. Mikey. count your doubloon.

Oooooh. What an OPENER!
I recall it put up no resistence
when I slipped my fingers
gently round it
and began to twist
it wasn't long
before I cast it aside
Beautiful alliteration in the R but that CALL IT and PUT UP, just sounds strong together. Love Slipped my fingers
Wait this is my favorite stanza

What a description! And then that heavy assonance running to the end, to stop abruptly with "blame". Took us the other way. Sounds AWESOME read aloud.
So forgive me if I'm way off but is this the story of a recovering alcoholic. Hmm. There are a few ways to take this.
I miss chatting with you. Hope everyone under your care is well. You my friend, get my very last six star...well deserved.

Bio mikey,
A Great free verse our a bottle cap and one man's journey with the bottle. Your font and color choice really enhanced the imagery of the Poem. As a fan I doubt that anyone would dare say that your not a poet. Great job my friend. God bless always

Getting soused and grating yer hand popping tops and telling the bitter half where the hell to get off sounds like a classy subject for an excellent free verse. You did it justice.
