Some new year cheer - Contributions called for a new anthology

A new anthology of Spirited Poetry is being mooted by the employer of one Mr. Montague Egg ( he of Dorothy Sayers fame), merchandiser of fine wine and spirits.
 
Yours truly was entrusted with the arduous task of coming up with possible titles for the book. Here they are:
Spirited poems
In high spirits
White, red, and rosé
Rum ones
Vermouth verses
Driftwood and beach bums
The rising of the froth
Pink gins and blue frogs
Blotto boogies
Poetry and the art of primary fermentation (ref. winemaking)
Glug glug glug.. hic

Ta da! :D Wish you all a very happy new year and may the muse be kind. 
 

Sunday

Why am I a writer?

What would I do if not write?
What would I do with all the insights,
result of my analyses – such delights?

What would I do if not write?
What else could give me such respite
from loneliness wrapped around me tight?

A life of peace is not my cup of tea
My mind is akin to a roiling sea.
I prosper in thoughts, if not money
I do get the bees, if not the honey.

How could I survive if I do not write?
That’s how my left brain talks to my right!
