embezzling my precious stones

There once was a great connoisseur
Who was a critic of liquor

But his words meant less
If he drank in excess

Then each word of his was a slur!...

That will be the day
another Buddy Holly
in the frame of fame
delighting the connoisseur
with the truth of Rock 'n' Roll.

Let thought be sure 
he is your connoisseur;
Deploy emotion as umpire
when with letters, you toast.
And words will feast
with the bread of hire

you made of them....

There once was a college sports jock,
Whose exterior was as hard as a rock.
   But inside beat the heart
   Of a connoisseur of fine art,
Whose colors he wore like a peacock....

And quickly check in
Waiting for our sausage and hot cake

There is my heart beat 
Standing on the other side
Of the street speaking 
She has captured all of the LOYALTY of
Loveliness  
 in this blue sphere and 
Made it more,  impossible to ignore.
a BEAUTY  CONNOISSEUR. BREATHLESSLY
BREATHTAKING.  FOR ME

Clem Kadidlehopper had two whoppers,
Two burgers with the works may be stoppers,
Double meat, egg, beetroot, tomato and cheese,
For a burger connoisseur this could only please,
No problem for Clem and his great big choppers.


alternate last line:  Clem woofed them down with his great big choppers....

Walkers crisps should be forced to comply
With trade description legislation
And stop disappointing their customers
With their artificial flavourization

When purchasing a bag of Walkers crisps
The connoisseur would think it a mistake
If he was unable to detect the distinct flavour
Of sweaty cagoule and Kendal mint cake...

How do you know you're a poet?
What qualifies you to have the title?
Are you a connoisseur of words?
Do you live and breathe poetry?
Do words pour out of your soul?
Are you a lover of rhymes?
So I ask you again, my friend?
How do you know you're a poet?
Because I don't have a clue.

If words inscribed by me can make him agonize, 
I'll let him feel. 
For I can't hurt him the way he does.
If he refuses to confine by my love,
I will not try to bewilder him by my mortal beauty,
rather let him be confined by my verse.
If still, he doesn't reciprocate,
then he is not the connoisseur 
I have sought to converse....

No one wants to be left on the shelf for years
Guess you could say I’ve popped my cork
Now I’m fully mature with a rich full body
I could be described as a little fruity with a hint of spice
Please don’t keep me bottled up
Just give me time to breathe

Would you like a little more wine?
You must agree this tastes quite fine.
This is another great product from the vine.
It is delicate with a hue of white.
It is not too sweet or dry, just right.
This wine any connoisseur will adore.
However, it cannot be bought in a store.
It certainly deserves a space on the top shelf.
Would you believe I made this wine myself?...

The Sexiest Gentleman

He sits in his garden chair
Reading his morning newspaper,
Leisurely sipping his Lipton green.
He lends his greying grace 
To the summer jasmines,
Oozing with his fragrance.
I connoisseur him silently, 
Overwhelmed with pride.
I continue to find him 
The sexiest gentleman
As I work on my poetic tryst.

I always like a wine that's good. 
Let's go to the liquor store in our neighborhood. 
As a connoisseur, I'm not very shrewd. 
What I want all depends on my current mood. 
It doesn't matter if it is a red or white. 
Just one that tastes good is the one that's right. 
My buddy, what kind of wine do you want to drink tonight?

Inspired by another member's poem

Life as wine






Cherished sips
that make you swirl,
Scent of life
is pure as white pearls,
Brewed to the finest
in ocean of desires,
Neat and bitter as truth
takes to heavens,
Amalgamated in sin
life has a sweet taste,
The more you drink
runs faster in the veins,
Utmost crest till serene !

A connoisseur of delicious or Johnathan apples? Queried my mom.
I had never considered her a connoisseur of either, I said with aplomb.
I knew her as Apple Jenny, she was a crone with a mission to learn.
I watched over her closely as she made her warm apple butter churn.
A scholarly woman, a sage wild woman who knew her own mind.
She was empathetic, casual, down-to-earth, pleasant and kind....

Monet strayed from trees and haystacks on this canvas
kept his signature clouds and barely touching strokes
verdent grass is speckled a lot like Cezanne would do
the muted colors fairly yell Monet to the connoisseur

woman’s shadow is perfection, as is her green umbrella
lifting this admirer’s hazel eyes from top to bottom
was this lady an unrequited love or possibly his mother?
Monet was never one to tell, so no one knows...
