This is a nice poem. I like the comparison of a glass of alcohol to a woman. That being said, while I love the word "chalice," a chalice is typically not made of glass. Usually, it is made of some metal, so maybe there's a more fitting title than "Chalice?" Perhaps "Fragility" or "A Tall Glass of Wine?" Furthermore, there are a couple of lines in here that don't make logical sense. First, the line "then brush off guilty shards." Why are the shards guilty? Perhaps you could say "then guiltily brush the shards from my lap, under the placemat/table/whatnot." The second spot that doesn't make sense in the last stanza. However, I think that has to do with the absence of punctuation, which could be a stylistic choice for you. All in all, very nice poem.

thank you for your suggestions! while i did leave my letters uncapitalized on purpose, i totally hear you. i'll write it again with some punctuation, read it aloud, and see what i think!

I promised that I would give feedback to anyone to comments on my work and Wow! i love this. I can see the wineglass interpretation easily. I am sure you purposely did not capitaize anything, but I think if you did, it would have greater effect. Some commas might help, for if you have the reader pause, or slow down at a few p,aces, the poem is much more dramatic. I see no grammatical errors, so good for you. Overall, the idea of this poem is very strong and creative. Keep writing!!
