A taste of succulence grown tart a sip of much too far apart Your dryness hints of Chardonay a touch of oaken love today. Drops of Merlot upon my lips the sweetest love turned bitter kiss Inspired by thoughts of Cabernet there was no wine to make you stay. Your fruit grows heavy on the vine Oh, what I'd give to thusly dine As every draught of new Gamay becomes a hideout from the pain. Subtley, you stopped tasting fine became a jug of Gallo wine.. |

 (big hugggsssssssss) Oh Sandra, this is sad but also so yummy, sweet friend, and I know with all my heart soon you will be tasting the delicate fruits of the vine and the ripen olives of love! (sigh) This truly is an exquisite and delicious poem and I am voting for you, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sandra, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I agree Sandra, sometimes things become so different....sad but true. But a good write and interesting metaphor.  --Liz You can sit there and forgive someone until the cows come home, and it won't make a bit of difference until they forgive themselves. |

The cork has rotted With the grapes gone bad Certainly the worst Vintage to be had Your legs are too short Your nose smells foul I'd rather drink swill From Hell's own bowel So with cellar stocked And cork screw in hand I raise a new glass And try a new brand ----- I like your use of the wine metaphor for a relationship gone sour. Well done, you get my vote. |

Sandra, I have missed you. And you know I still can't believe you're a Grandma! I wish you love and peace. And it gets my vote.If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Sometimes words don't exist until we're reminded that they do. When I read this I was reminded that the word "nostalgia" exists. It hasn't been at the front of my mind in quite a while but you did a good job of pulling it back. A beautiful poem of sweetness to bittersweetness to bitterness. The theme you chose is all too appropriate. I'm voting for this. Parasite "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. ~ Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche [This message has been edited by Local Parasite (02-18-2003 02:39 PM).] |

Welll.... Gallo's ok for someone like me, who had no taste to start with.... Looking hard at your picture, I think I've seen you before. Not sure, but I think so -- I'll keep an eye out when I'm around there & maybe give you a howdy..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

I enjoyed your poem except for the word "thusly" which doesn't like me to come across at all. But that didn't stop me from voting. Nicely written altogether. Essorant PS how about "thereof" instead of "thusly"? [This message has been edited by Essorant (03-12-2003 05:19 PM).] |
