Nette Onclaud Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

                 

Cabernet Purple Sweet

How luscious the ripened grapes, purple sweet
Enthralling us  in their leafy bower
Where a lush orchard coddles yield every  hour—
Moonlight and dawn  gloss velvet skins replete
With bathed  nectarine turning into wine…
An elixir  when  our affection glows :
Cabernet , more precious than scented rose
As lovers’ mouths sip of romance divine!

Frederic Parker January 26, 2019 at 5:39 PM made me think of Neil Diamond's song of red, red, wine...moonlit cabernet and a kiss that stays...good luck nette

Tania Kitchin January 26, 2019 at 2:20 PM Excellent Nette, I like white wines but I may have to try some cabernet again after reading your poem! :)

Vijay Pandit January 26, 2019 at 1:46 PM That purple in your photo is exquisite..and so is your poem. Well written, as always, Nette.

CayCay Godwin January 26, 2019 at 1:34 PM This is lovely, an exquisite pen of full body just as I understand wine should be. I am not a drinker and would rather have the grapes, so my appreciation may not be as significant as other readers, but I don't need to taste a poem to feel its wonder. I pray your days have been emotionally easier as you continue to grow and absorb from last year's 'altering' ride. I think of you. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Lyva Marty January 26, 2019 at 1:19 PM Intoxicating! I'll have another taste of this succulent read so purple sweet. With grapes, wine, romance all wrapped in a package, who needs the rose?

Robert Lindley January 26, 2019 at 12:30 PM Beautiful verse my dear friend. I wish that I had a cup of that refreshing wine right now ! A fav...
