The Brew Many days have emptied some frothy with delight into life's glass of time some black like darkest night In the color's swizzle they swirl change and blend fall into the bottom and others light do send To pasteurize the brew does takes a lot of time for the changing color to be the perfect wine A turn or two for pain and four or five for love each year death stirs a few add laughter’s sweetened glove For temperature that’s cold you must be warm of heart and feel the pain in depth to keep the wisest part To life I drink this brew to know the bitter feast then when my hunger calls the mix will bring me peace |

I guess this means ... if we're thankful, kind,caring and persevering ... we'll improve with age? Sort of reminds me of the passions family, in a way  |

Yes, through time, we continue to learn, developing and growing wiser through the years, and learning to love so much. Excellent poem, my friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

A turn or two for pain and four or five for love each year death stirs a few add laughter’s sweetened glove For temperature that’s cold you must be warm of heart and feel the pain in depth to keep the wisest part To life I drink this brew to know the bitter feast then when my hunger calls the mix will bring me peace ===================== look at me girlie ...playin with poetry  look at her working the rhyme divine look at the metaphors poetically defined look at me reading till me goes blind  "she calls me baby ... she calls everybody baaaaby". ~jc mellencamp~ ;) |

Karilea--what a lovely thought Rex Allen--Did I say that? Sounds like a good prescription for living. Noah--Thanks for reading and for the nice reply. Janet--This rhyme is not devine...it takes alot of time. |

Life is an acquired taste for sure and you hold it with much allure Take you time when seeking rhyme It shall always come long before you succumb. ===================== Lovely write my friend. Not only does it have the famous Martie mastery in it but you have tossed out ONCE again a little brew of life's lessons for us. ps.......saving your other one for tonight's snack as they say. If you find yourself stranded in a storm ...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together |

Martie~ To sup a cup of this brew is to find a taste of you ! 'laughter’s sweetened glove' You leave a lingering taste of life's brew upon the lips of the thirsty poet. I am quenched with your thoughts. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
