Best Pairing Poems

Where then the emotive happiness
with such procrastinated enchantment brings
desirous supposedly encountered
and romantic wanderings heady cadence
which pins the inattentive to the skins of longing

It is said to be lost in the surge
to swirl with giddy waltz
yes to tremble ecstatic on the threshold of lips 
an unreasonable...

Yes please. We're back.
The first pairing of 2023
Stunning wines by Hartenberg
And Lanser's food, mhuh, just wait and see

Our country's seen better days
With literal pooh coming down
Crooked politicians, state capturers
and Juli-assses band of clowns

Tonight. Yes tonight
Let's sweep it all off the table
Raise our glasses, eat like...

two kinds of starlight
fashion their luster come eve
muddy and fiery--
 heels adhere to  night's command
 rubbers or stilettoes worn.

Paint coat gloss of stigmatised strategy
Ink print format dishonourable dastardly
Rewriting total emotional reliance on romantic target solo
Mistakes made eradicate match develops purely personal 


Necessary structure supports test criteria
Shifted not by storm of hormonal hysteria
Flattery, female following foresee men fearful, fatigued
Indolent inconsistency implores males imbibe, intrigued

You and your pliant touch lit me up, there my diva, morn.
After the shower, your wet hair and your braid, in trying untangling
Humble effort, down to earth
I rush to thee, my open palm , water soaked paperspace, and
Eyes soothing a time, comforting chime, a return...

  Pair a practical woman with a dreamer
    It may just work if she can
  The reverse ~

It has been written,
you can’t compare anything
to God nor God to anything;
yet, all is in and of God.
The moon can’t be compared
to the sun; yet, she reflects everything
he is and will ever be in being.
Only eyes, and only in the night,
can reflect the other stars’...

today i bought
a small bouquet
six long stems
of tender buds
in vivid blue

as luck
would have it
the day before
i'd bought a tall
and slender vase
never thinking
the two were
destined for
each other

the bouquet
slid into the vase
like it was
meant to be
a rare elegance
i'd rarely seen

so here we are
in awe
admiring
six irises
in their
graceful
ballerina
pose

Paired with a Portuguese Fish Stew, hmmm, you're going...

Discussed wine pairing with patrons aglow
"What does your order include?"
"Roast turducken frankenfood"
"Then I recommend a dry Portmanteau!"

It is always hard to measure 
When people experience romantic pleasure 
Expressing love 
Peaceful as a dove 
For one another 
Warm sentiments resulting in Father and Mother 
And the results could be 
A family of three 
But why can the knot 
Initiated from the looks...

It's the marketers in the room
Who must be in a state
We have a wine with a name
Impossible to articulate

There are basic rules to obey
When creating a brand
Simple, one or two syllables
Easy to remember and understand

Google, Lego, Cotton-On
Whatsapp, DHL, Bard
Nerf, Typo, and Shell
They work, cos they're...

Welcome to our wine pairing
You and you. One and all
We’ve got great food and wine
Our hope for the evening… you have a ball

You’re seated in a Bistro
That’s where you’re at
Bryanston’s finest it’s said
And that’s an undeniable fact

So what is a Bistro?
South African’s don’t know
We’ve been...

Welcome back,
It’s been a while
An invitation to Wine Pairing
I bet it brought a smile

Zevenvacht’s our wine
A farm from Stellenbosch
Meaning Seven Expectations
By golly, that sounds posh

I have some peeps
Tonight I must mention
Dom our good friend
Out spending his pension

Can’t leave out Auralia
She’s about to split
Rumour has it
She’s...
