James Fraser Poet Limerick

Chardonnay - S'Il Vous Plait

Natures gift in the shape of her vine
Planted with care, line after line
By the grace of our sun
Their growth has begun
In ripeness below her sunshine

We harvest her grapes, turned to wine
Growers experiences, know her signs
From her graft to their trade
In the grape is it's grade
Maturity is it's moment in time

To the table her results are defined
We indulge in our culinary dine
Us hosts in satisfy
Wanting palets in comply
As our tastes are in joint combine






For Francine's  - Bottle of Wine contest - ( fruit of the vine, when........)

Elizabeth Wesley July 6, 2011 at 8:32 AM I'm in Niagara, wine country to be sure and this epitomizes what we are becoming know for. A great verse. :)

Black Eyed Susan June 23, 2011 at 3:42 PM I like this, but the flow is a little off for me in the last stanza. Maybe it's just me. Good luck in the contest :)

Carolyn Devonshire June 19, 2011 at 11:41 AM Admire the spin you took on this contest, James. Liked reading about the vines growing and the farmers' concerns that they will survive to make a tasty win. Wishing you success in Francine's contest! Love, Carolyn
