cold tree
chablis
hearts free
soft brie


on beach, under cold tree, chablis lips
on warm blanket, hearts free, soft brie quips...

full moon basks in light
reflecting the sun’s bright rays…
     illumination

void of emotion
the cratered face seems to stir…
     light lost as sun moves

amber crescent hangs
tip it an sip its Chablis…
     warm gold nectar soothes

risen in darkness
drifting clouds conceal moonlight
from a shadowed face 

reflections serene
lunar light breaks the stillness
revealing night orbs

golden chablis flows
from glowing flower petals
sweet drops of honey

Sit atop my wings
I'll fly you places 
Show you things

I've been around the world
Just come along
I'll keep you furled

I know just where to go
We won't be rushed 
We'll take it slow

I'll first bring you to France 
We'll nosh on brie
Maybe even dance

As long as you're with me
You'll sip the finest French Chablis...

I am addicted to raspberry tea

   I prefer it to a fine French Chablis

      If alcohol it contained

         I'd stagger about half-brained

            Guzzling gallons to gratify me

it's almost sundown
I checked the clock
It's almost Thanksgiving
Everything's soaked
Rescued carrots from rain thawed dirt
Hot soup eased the chill
cool chablis eased the pain
Cat keeps sliding from blue jeans lap
to resettle higher and slowly reslide
Claws are verboten
She knows
Time for a refill
This poem's done
Cat's at the window
studying darkness...

October sunshine late afternoon
Time hasn’t fallen back yet
Six orange raspberries
Sweetly melted on my tongue
A second harvest
Missed by the catbirds
Found by the ants
A gallon or two of
tiny red and yellow
Tomatoes
To be halved and drenched 
In dark Balsamic
With perhaps a slice
Of hot pepper
Yellow
Not the fiery red
And a sip or two
Of Mountain chablis
Then maybe some
Devonshire
Or Chilton
With that hard crust bread
To dip in 
olive oil...

Chilled or warm this life is so worn
bitter sweet or sour tart the ache of my old heart
life's aroma giving years of sitting while waiting
to be young again like a grape that's been blend

Across the desert I swirl of childhood as a young girl
champagne sand at night with the red moon I bloom
unbreakable glass so tipsy and free like fine Chablis
tiny bubbles flutter through my veins like a cork no longer constrain.
