Gypsy Wine

GYPSY WINE This red summer is buried in the wine, it holds a fragrant oak and note of mine, to drink to heart and heart to love divine, we sip the sun rays in and off the vine. The crystal glasses clink to celebrate, a golden moon too full to hesitate, to give a kiss and kiss to hold our fate, in every drop we drink or pause to wait. When shooting stars are in the wine we drink, and sunsets fall beneath a rim in pink, forever hold and hold to keep the link, between the things we say or thoughts we think. Let's raise a glass, it may be Summer's last, to see the season slip so sweetly past. -By Edlynn Nau © August 18, 2016

Hello, my friend. I dropped back in to see what's new with you. I'm not disappointed. I love your summer wine poem. We could actually mark the seasons by the wine. Was 2016 a good year or bad? Some say summer wine is the best. I prefer the hot, spiced wine of fall and winter; warm to the soul and heady to the senses. So, how have you been? I just posted a recent poem to test the waters. Lol. Keep the faith. You are an exceptional poet. hugs. Jan

Thank you JAN. I've been a blue poet in that stuck position but I'm trying to pull out of it. Thanks for your encouraging words. I have about a book of poetry to read from all of you but decided to take 4 months off. Back some in October!

Another fav for me my friend.. Your unique style fits sonnets so well. Ever on message with smooth flow and deep imagery and positive airs.

Thank you SO MUCH Connie. Working my way out of a stuck place and really want to write but feel like I've dived head first into cement. Hope I can float again soon! In the meantime...your reviews helps remind me that there is this still to do!

Thank you John! That is such a lovely thing to say. I hope I can start writing again. I'm not blocked in ideas, I'm blocked by not wanting to do anything in my normal life. Seems all very hard and redundant! I feel stuck.

There is that little sadness in the air when summer is about to close. I will miss sun dresses, flip flops, ice tea, long summer nights under the stars. So a salute to summer seems right. Thank you so much for reading and stopping in to say hey!

Will fun to do a Sonnet toast or farewell to Summer with just 33 days of the summer left and the meteor showers always in this month. Are you able to see those from Upper State NY or is it too overcast? I like to go watch from the roof with a lovely glass of wine (and a sleeping bag)! Thank you for your lovely review. I miss seeing you. I like St Frances Wine, Writers Block Red, and any SONOMA wines are darn good.
