Grapes Poems

Kinds Of Grapes

more than ten thousand
varieties of grapes
glory be to God!

Truth In Advertising

I do enjoy imbibing a vintage libation
now and again (and again, and again)
but when I thought I'd bought
the best bottle of Bordeaux money can buy,
then looked at the label on the back,
before pulling the cork, I nearly had a heart attack.
'Characterised by a great body,' it stated,
'velvety cedar and hazelnut texture,'
but my taste buds went

grapes

with mouths smudged purple
we plunk grapes into our pails . . . 
sangria sunrise

grapes

grapes come from grapes trees
conscience comes from a conscience-
wind comes from the wind

bottom grapes and curdled milk in my stomach

object
be silent
not signed about
take the present
it a meaningful moment
at that cornered life
you scram
behind the bent
stand she and he hide
out 
for once and for naught
a single ounce
you got left to sell
comin in a center
miss perfect
deflecting death
shirt coats end polish
pranks and bank shot calling
from my starched abandon
lifetimes no skranton
big world owners and rulers
standard operator error
get blues when?

12 Grapes at Midnight

On New Year's Eve, I will make plans to sit under a table with green grapes. Eat 12 of them instead of kissing your face. Maybe I will end up manifesting your love in the next seasons to come. And when the clock strikes midnight, I will realize that you loved me last year. And

NOTHINGNESS

NOTHINGNESS 

Spreading around in every
direction are wings of a
peacock

cherubs hug fresh 
                            

Grapes Through the Years

In youth, we discover the grape is good.
Things get great when we uncover Welch’s,
Champagne - which you can’t believe it could -
Is better still, and then you belches.

Bitter Grapes

The Garden of Glory, here and now

You will see heaven and earth roll up as a scroll 
You will read the Word, written in twigs and rocks  
You will hear the scroll of the Word quake as light sets 

You will feel starlight pearl bracelets, engraved in gold 
You will wear white garments made of moonlight silk 
You will taste

Blossoms of Grapes

The tender tendrils spiralling
                        on the stake
        The grapevine weak in structure
           Yet the fruit

Cotton Candy Grapes

It will remind you of alchemy 
how taste and image don’t align; 
Lypophrenia hits you,
best friends the county fair;
Memories play back 
while snacking on 
those cotton 
candy 
grapes.

Journeys

“Journeys”

I reread “Grapes of Wrath”

Today,

Then went to El Paso

And stared at the wall.

Sacred

Harsh area to grow up
     charming views for waking up
along sacred land.

               Exposed to chances
         fed by honorable pride 
         

Painting of Grapes

Whoever painted these lifelike grapes could also paint blueberries
I lean into the canvas to see if grapes have a smell
They look real enough to pluck out
An old master’s touch
