Paul Callus Poet Etheree

Oktoberfest

Froth
spilling
from large mugs
brimming with chilled
Bavarian beer.
Spiced delicacies tempt.
The aroma of grilled meat
pervades the night as senses reel.
Waitresses in traditional dress
serve folks to the sound of music and song.

Eileen Manassian September 28, 2015 at 12:21 PM :) Lovely poem, my dear. We vegetarians might not be too thrilled with the smell of grilled meat, but lovely all the same. Hugs, dear. Good luck in the contest. Paul Callus September 28, 2015 at 3:26 PM Hi Eileen! My son can't stand meat, nor the smell of it being cooked! I love veg & fish mostly, also pasta and rice, though I do also have some meat once in a while. As I told Nette, I have both meat and drink in moderation! hugs // paul
