White Or Red?

White
by name
straw of hue
a light bouquet
draped temptingly in beads of condensed cool

a glass or two to share between two halves
becoming one
as passions
turn to
red

warm
spices
fruity notes
vanillas blush
enraptured in the realms of paradise

A very interseting approach to the tetracyts. Very clever. Did you see Nikko's? Wow. The recent ones I am seeing are really fine! I'm happy you wanted to copy that kiddie poem. LUv, Andrea

When I shop for wine again, I shall be thinking back to this poem. It's taken wine on a lovely journey, red or white >> James
