Tonight's Poet Corner: A Mood In Mountains
A Mood In Mountains  by Belinda Roddie   Sipping homemade liqueur  from a shot glass, I thought about  the voices in my head, all trying  to convince me that my future  lay in smoke instead of crystal.   Still, the pear and vanilla settled  in my skull, and all at once,  I was transported to a time in my life  that felt so much simpler. I was  productive, and I was praised for it.  I was compassionate, and I was  understood for it.   I am prepared for the cold  of the next few days. I am willing  to be absorbed in an environment  I have never explored before. And  I am thrilled to indulge in luxuries  on a plate, served by people I love  dearly, whom I am so grateful  to have as my latest family.
