A little taste of wine so many kinds
One that taste like rotten grapes, apples, brines
Some so strong spit_rinse
Need to get rid of that quince
Worst one reminded me of shoe shines

I'm a poet taster,
discovering ways 
to make my words sing.
Using voice to guide 
you through my world,
or what I choose to
share of it.
It's intoxicating,
sitting down with a pen in hand. 
In my head, I'm whizzing 
through a sandy beach,
with the sun in my face,
and my horse under me.
(Tranquil, soft, sweet.)
I'm a poet taster....

The bunny tea taster is on his way!
He is bringing a straw and will certainly stay!”
Hare Village cheered “hip hip hip hooray!”
It was a totally wonderful way to start a great day.

The bunny tea taster had a straw that was long.
He dipped it into the tea, which was clearly not wrong.
We gave him the key to the city, and a new leather bong.
Then we sang him the traditional Welcome Tea Taster Song....

Oh, meaty mothballs!
    as opposed to mothy meatballs
  Alternatively - slobbering sloth-balls!
    instead of sloppy moth-calls

  Stupid refrigerator!
    as opposed to dumb incinerator
  Alternatively - dirty toenail taster!
    instead of wanton whiskey-waster

  It's the start of a brand-new year
    Let's raise glasses and expectations
  And while we're at it
    ~ improve imprecations!...

Curiosity Soup

Curiosity Soup, serve with a pinch of Salt;
A warm mixture of Poetic words,
Vintage Wine or a very fine Malt.

Uncomplicated, yet satisfying and full;
Leave your taster time to absorb,
Rich flavours to savour and mull.

Give it depth yet effortless and clear,
Don't add ambiguity or pretension,
Use a clarity of words to hear.

Make it enjoyable even if emotional or sad,
Avoiding that bitter after taste,
Curiosity Soup, best you ever had....
