Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Life Like Tasting Wine

Hold it; let it breathe; it grows better with time.
Ignoring its colors is a crime!
Sniff and swirl it for a sign.
Inhale. Sip. Divine!
Slurp! Savor
wine.
The flavor
that comes from YOUR vine
is more enhanced when you dine -
finding balance.  Life can be sublime!
Hold it; let it breathe; it grows better with time.

FJ Thomas January 18, 2023 at 10:10 AM Andrea I am so sorry! I don't remember that you created a form. This is like an awesome amped up reverse rictometer rhyme! I cannot wait to try it! FJ Thomas January 18, 2023 at 2:18 PM Then at Shadow poetry I must peek! Andrea Dietrich January 18, 2023 at 12:20 PM thanks so much. I actually created three or four forms, but this is the ONLY one Soup saw fit to claim as a new form and they have hidden somewhere on the site. I don't even know where it is. My other forms are at Shadowpoetry.com. I love that part of shadowpoetry that shows lots of forms created by my poet friends before SP went under.

Connie Marcum Wong September 5, 2015 at 1:37 AM What a wonderful way to share your poetry invention by entering it in this contest Andrea! Made this song keep running through my head...haha. Great job and hope it does well in the contest! "Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine When you gonna let me get sober Leave me along, let me go home I wann'a go back and start over"

Jennifer Walker September 2, 2015 at 10:56 PM Beautiful way to describe wine, love the first and last line.

James Inman September 2, 2015 at 8:27 AM Beautiful form Andrea, but I have to wonder if you create these forms just to torture those us who might like to try them, LOL. Andrea Dietrich September 2, 2015 at 8:54 AM Hahaha. That form just came to me when I was doing a contest this past year and after I wrote the poem, I realized the pattern and this is my second try at it! Not really that difficult!

Matthew Anish August 31, 2015 at 11:31 PM Great metaphor here! Good luck in the contest! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

David Fisher August 30, 2015 at 5:45 PM This poem makes me want to go out and enjoy even though I'm worrying about all the work to do Monday. Each line is more than fine.

Daver Austin August 30, 2015 at 11:17 AM This old alcoholic got so thirsty reading your wine drenched poem. I used to finish off half gallons of the brew. My abstinence has not kept me from enjoying your poem though. LOve, daver

Kash Poet August 29, 2015 at 11:34 PM Good take on the contest theme! This is a new form to me.Have to check it.Best wishes in the contest. Andrea Dietrich August 30, 2015 at 12:43 AM Kash, Andaree is my own form that I invented this past year. I had a contest on it and the members helped me name it. It will be one of my contests coming up if you want to get busy with it. but I'll need to get the rules up again. I can't get Shadowpoetry to post it as a new form for me. Major bummer for me.
