The Grape

The fork goes on the left.
The poor go on the streets.
And the crock sits on the table
when the grape is pressed to treat.

Iq of a Grape

From prison he tried to escape
But, had the IQ of a grape
… His rocket (mis-wired)
… Quickly backfired
Now he’s all over the landscape

Grape Vine




I see my future
in your verses - so divine,
those are like grape vines ;
the juices of your wisdom
drip to satisfy my thirst

There once was a friar respectable 
All thought of him purely impeccable
	He took grape from the vine
	then fermented strong wine
And now he is more than deprecable

Tree of life’s white grapes 
Bread that never perishes 
Wisdom’s nice fig leaves 
Blessed honey fountains 
Blessed grape juice

Sour Grape and Sad Shape

Sour Grape and Sad Shape

As usual are using things as an escape;
Could call this a Republican sour grape;
Coast to coast,
Brag and boast;
Sure seems to be in such a sad shape.

perfect single grape
clings tentatively to vine
waits for gentle hands

perfect single grape
clings tentatively to vine
playing hard to get

perfect single grape
clings tentatively to vine
sadly never reached

frozen on the vine
cryogenic flavored host
a time released smile

frozen on the vine
ice glistening in the sun
grapes hold on tight

harvest time has come
necter trapped in purple orbs
till glasses are raised

Grape Squeeze

Grape Squeeze
By
Ingrid Showalter Swift

Shake me 
Take me 
Turn me inside out
Rake me 
Make me
Turn my life about 
Fake me
Partake of me
till ya turn the tide of doubt
Quake me
Don't forsake me
turn me into... a lover's shout
Form: Rengay

Grape Arbor

come and kiss me under the grape arbor
breathe in the grape musk
in the twilight
that primal scent of lust
stand with me under the moon
where we can see our dogs running like fools after moths
waiting for us to be done with this
foolishness

Premium Member Sour Grape

It's my prerogative
to be pejorative.
Crass, grumpy,
and boorish to boot.
Like me, or despise me.
I don't really care.
I'll die.
None will cry.
My coffers they'll loot.
Take what they wish.
Every last dish.
Until there's nothing left, 
but the bones.

Traveling Grape

The traveling grape how you roll along. You visit share & offer yourself. You're tender & offer your superb wayof being yourself. Your skin is part of your characteristic.sometimes you might fall down or roll away. Maybe even get stepped on but you give of you & the best was you.

The Greatest Poem Ever Written

The greatest poem ever written,
made the angels cry...
the oceans fade...
the mountains sway...
and every heart sigh.

But, you would never know...
because I hit an advertisement link below...
and away my masterwork did go.

Grape Fruits

slightly sour juice squeezed
from succulent small grape fruits--
this wine smells better

slightly sour juice squeezed
from succulent small grape fruits--
vine has more of them

slightly sour juice squeezed
from succulent small grape fruits--
raisins made for me

Premium Member VIOLET GRAPE PURPLE ENVELOPE

VIOLET GRAPE PURPLE ENVELOPE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
violet grape-purple envelope waiting in drawer’s dim hush. unsent letters breathing deep holding whispers and promises. secrets folded sharp as grief, fermenting like forgotten liqueur. the scent of longing and fine wine. Sealed.

Grape Symphony

beneath each heavy bough
the musk of grape vines
heavy droplets
as we lift them 
large grapes 
hang from the arbor
scent the air
as I unbutton you
warm hands
kissing feels again like grape skin
your lips are ripe
male scent released into the night
cry out
in deeper tones than mine
forever love will have the scent of grape vine musk
and you

I want to peel his skin back, and eat it like the meat of a grape

In the cool light,
I want to peel his skin back
And eat it like the meat of a grape

In the heat summer,
I’m painted, red as Cardinal
And stuffed full of Sparrow’s ecstasy

At the summit of hysteria
He holds me by the sinew
And bends it till I break

Numb on the skin’s landing -
Head had me like a dog
Trodden on the fiber of loving
I'm stuck on the wheel of pain-killing

Violet grape purple envelope

Violet grape purple envelope 
Beholder of your wildest dreams
Holding all the things you long for
Bursting joyful at the seams 

Held in gentle mystic splendour 
Locked, entombed, a treasured case
Sacred thoughts possessed so tightly 
Coccooned within this hidden place 

Wrapped in warming rays of sunlight
Imaginary classic trope
Bestower of the dreams envisaged

Premium Member What the violet grape said to the purple envelope

a Curtal Sonnet

Does it matter what the violet grape
said to the purple envelope? To wit:
remember the words of romance written
upon your blank page and how they did shape
all that came after, as if twere a skit
and tragedy of a young lass smitten

with the villain of her downfall, darkly
he wove the spells of love, dressed in chiton
disguise of languid hue, hiding the jitte
he would use to subdue her, how sharply,
leaving her stricken!
