A little chalk poem

This very short poem, chalked on the pavement, won me third prize in the Mayhem Pavement Poetry competition yesterday:


Unfortunately  
vodka
cannot erase
you from
my brain
as easily
as rain
breathes
a half-
chalked
poem
back into
nothingness


I won a book of poetry.  Not bad for a quick ten minutes' chalking!  Admittedly the last line was one I had written previously, but not found a home for, so recycled it for this purpose.  It worked well for the medium. Yay poems!
