Sweet Nectar

I caress you with utter delight As you sparkle in soft light Your red color velvety smooth Lifts my spirits when I brood Fragrant aroma as I sip Sweetest nectar on my lips You swirl and twirl in my glass Your color and taste first class Succulent and very fine I drink my glass of red wine. 10/09/15

Hi Phyl! Some neat personification here, (if that's the word I want!) the denouement doesn't come until the very last line which is as it should me. A smooth cadence with super couplet rhyming! Well done my dear!! Best wishes, Keith 7
