Ode to Newcastle Brown Ale

Desperation for the taste

Of your liquid kiss

Slipping and sliding

Into my dry, dark throat.

Alone until I’m with you

Feeling your mouth against my lips.

A cool solution

To be found at the bottom,

A release from dreary life

Into a surreal world

My friend,the one and only

A bottle full of answers.

About Kate Goodman

Originally from Croydon, I have settled in Halesowen in the West Midlands with my husband and much-longed for son. We also have a cat, Murphy, who delights in bringing me live mice, frogs and birds. Lucky me. I have written all my life. There have been peaks and troughs, highs and lows, but the written word always calls me back. I hope you enjoy my work.
