Wine Country

Valleys wide of rust and green
Rolling hills, such vintage green

Woven rope of twisted vines
Purple hues of grape divine

Paths between the rows of braid
Staked in strands so neatly laid

As if a Sun God reaching down
Had trailed his fingers 'cross the ground

Welcome signs that offer tastes
Archway drives, with landscaped gates

Merlot reds, a richness deep
Zinfandel, a year to keep

Perfect day, a sweet escape
A Champagne toast to celebrate

Carrie, the flow here is set well by the couplet style, while your words offer great clarity and postion the reader right there among, not only the words, but within the scenery. Excellent! Michael

I don't drink wine anymore. I stopped almost 25 years ago. but I do remember what it taste like, I get a kick out of people whe spend a bunch of money for wine and then just let it sit and age. I enjoyed your read, very good poem.
