Short Sauvignon Poems

Risotto with shrimp and peas
Grilled romaine with pears
Lemon rolls with raspberry jam
Crisp Sauvignon Blanc
Strawberry –Rhubarb Pie
A warm breeze
Friends!...

This August's our fiftieth anniversary,
so off to la belle France,
for our summer vacance,
my first-born and gran-kids to see-
Sun,siesta,Sauvignon....mais oui !...

Clad in flowing purple
Like a full-bodied
Cabernet Sauvignon
She vanishes into the 
Shadows of the night
While I stand alone, 
Dreamily savouring 
The lingering aftertaste
Of her aromatic kiss.

Sauvignon oh Sauvignon!
My crimson grapey friend
While I enjoyed my time with you
I'm sorry it must end

Cabernet oh Cabernet
Yes you I used to know
Sad but true, I’m done with you
I’ve moved on to Bordeaux

Bordeaux, Bordeaux oh my Bordeaux
You vineyard berry blitz
The summers here, and I declare
I choose a white wine spritz...

On malice toward some, and charity gone;
Hate words hurled, like ruined sauvignon.
Some, feeling like bitter rind,
have an axe to grind.
Can’t we be
kind?
Would it be
out of style, or mind?
Stretch a hand, be not unkind;
Let not the sun rise, nor there be dawn,
on malice toward some, and charity gone.

Hey! Dear Grim Reaper, tell me your secret.
How is it that you are so skinny?
even after devouring so many souls.
Is it the scythe. May I PLEASE borrow it for later.
I have chicken for dinner tonight. 
To skim the meat clean of the fat,
Give me your recipe.
Or is it the wine that goes with your kill?
Is it Merlot or sauvignon blanc? 
Don't tell me it is from the workout,
you get from hunting your prey... :P...

palmlike branches sway
in a late august breeze
as the afternoon sun languishes

the waiter brings my glass
of sauvignon blanc
and i feel decadent
alone at a table for four
just me and my muse
taking in the view

summer exhales its last breath
refusing to let go as of yet
while vacationers come
to accept their days are numbered
and do their best to stretch
each divine hour

P  Patience is a virtue, a footstep
A  Along the road of life, ambrosia
T  To a world in turmoil; the tiniest
I   Interjected bits of soul food like, Fusilli,
E  Egg pasta with zucchini and mushroom sauté.
N  Nice parmesan and pecorino cheese atop; such a crown with,
C  Cabernet Sauvignon added, for a meal so aromatic
E  Everyone will celebrate!

Along this season’s mid quarter-time,
I find myself wandering between 
The raw of night’s wanton  pleasure
And the sacredness from morn awakened:
Late evenings replay a dancing fire
when each hour blazes  thrilled adventures
daring  the  self to run with passion: jazz music
gyrating through city lanes, sauvignon kisses
 from love’s rendezvous, the late communion
with this artist's brush—an expressionistic glow!
