drink wine

Remember this poets, drink wine,
It is not talent that is important,
It is to have heart, drink wine,
Offer a drink to a friend or student

Make your friends, young and new, cry
Speaking of the primroses you offer,
Speaking of the water lilies in a famous museum,
Tearing all your uncertain poems,

See, this poem has little interest, let’s drink wine instead,
It is made of banalities without emotions, jewels thrown,
What I forgot when I wrote is to address you,
To have heart, to tell you of my loves,

Remember this poets, drink wine, admire your mother
Those who speak to you, hold you captive,
It takes a great silence virgin, the friendship of Mark Aurel
That the soul may walk in the snow,
Alone. Come with me. Come with me.
Drink wine. *


* with moderation and humour

Nice gesture but after watching alcoholic grandpa I never did pick up the habit and taught my son not to do the same! Enjoyed reading.

Great advice, Yann. I love excellent white wine, but with doctor's orders, I must stop to red wine., which I love too. You must be careful to keep the volume around 12%.

Offering friendship, showing hospitality, letting others partake in a drink, these are all sweet gestures. Take life easy and get along with others in a mood of gaiety. A beautiful poem dear Yaan.

Kind of humorous. Especially giving wine to students. I would get fired! Ironically the church I was raised in forbade drink of any alcohol. I have since had some wine. I rather enjoy it's taste. But it is only healthful to drink it in moderation.

Drink wine, Jesus drank wine! Drink plenty with meals, it's the heart of the course. 1 Timothy 5:23 - Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. Lovely poem, Yann so kind. Enjoyed! Ooh lala

Yes, in moderation. It is nice to share and relax within a safe group. Recently went to a winery with my Dad, 2 sisters and brother to celebrate birthdays. We had such a fun time, put away 5 bottles…what?! I drank lots of water and of course we had snacks. We sat outside on a lovely day and made a memory. Love the drifting thought of your poem, as if completely relaxed. Hugs
