The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Grapes

grapes still clutch
the vine
along the backyard fence

like clusters of birds
harvesting leftovers
from a picnic

their juice sweetens
like wine
as the nights cool

just enough left
to pool
and intoxicate

Grapes ripen with the sun's rays ready to stain our hands and warm our hearts. Nice Annette thank you.
