Grapes on the grapevine
oh, such a delightful sight
fox thinks they are sour

Grapes on the grapevine
oh, such a delightful sight
hanging looms of wine

Grapes on the grapevine
oh, such a delightful sight
intoxication......

Believe it or not this is the absolute truth
And I'm not into drinking gin and vermouth
Heard through the grapevine
Ladies parts are divine
For ogling, but unwanted touching is uncouth

Creature claw marks crisscrossing,
Reminders on your skin
A post-it timeline 
Of fear and then
You climb the grapevine
To your vices, apprehend
It all entices again
This prophecy,
Of the knife and me, 
Feels like it's gonna be
As pure as milk and honey...

I met a man who had sex with a chicken 
He had heard KFC was finger licken'  
He must have felt fried 
And cooped up inside 
When his two eggs started movin' and kickin'

riding bicycles
along backwoods nature trails
in a caravan
down to the old cut grapevine
swinging the whole day away

The Mocking Bird crooned
His melody of love all night
Whip-Poor-Will answered
"After Tonight" in loving delight

Finally she_ Mocking Bird
Answered, shhh! be quiet
I already "Heard It Through The Grapevine"
Cheating is your game

Around four a.m. I got a short nap...

into blue gardens
spurred by the beckoning sun
and fragrant lovelies

hydrangea bliss
too long gone, forget me not
sapphire cornflowers

songs through the grapevine
and irises navy blue
cobalt skies charming

azure clematis
a sense of what's been missing
lilac fragrances...

flowing 
        spring 
               river
a breezy 
         grapevine 
                  sings 
                       flows
by pure 
          vibration

sweet lavender lips
I heard it through the grapevine
transform from sweet grapes

sweet lavender lips
I heard it through the grapevine
libation of wine

sweet lavender lips
I heard it through the grapevine
intoxicating -----X----- beverage

Page after page
Words set odd tell
Stage upon stage
Tales prompt crisp dwell


Line after line
Words offer gist,
Wine in grapevine
Lost in the mist


Odd verse make good
As change trips style,
Brisk rhymes flood mood
In oozing piles.

Oh my precious lady Caroline
                                    Confused as a peach on a grapevine 
                                               She Forgets to think
                                              Then she drives to drink
                                  And spills her homemade muscadine wine...

News
heard through
the grapevine
when a heatwave
threatened July’s joy
a baby girl was born
against all odds (while on air
Phil Collins sang to make a point)
tears ran down a happy mother’s face. 
At last, the closure of an empty space.

The quiet cool of morn invites
A time of meditation
Thank God for His love_creation
Thanks for earth; His Scion  

Scion can mean grafted as one grafts into an apple tree,
a grapevine or rose..

Those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior
are Scions..They have been grafted into the
family of God.....

Uneasy steps
In an old map
Lines a strange trap


Hurl of loose lines
On the grapevine
All is not fine


A jerky point
A slipping joint
A fall appoints


Falling feeds fear
Right now and here
Sad broken cheer


Feel that plunge strange
Odd in lost range
Falling to change

K-now that God created us, 
I-n His plan or design; 
M-an's Maker also planted the only true grapevine. 

A-cknowledge the Almighty, 
N-ever ignore His wisdom; 
G-od must be recognized, 
U-ntil we reach His kingdom. 
L-et us think of the lesson about the dust that we discuss; 
O-n the thirteenth of September, know that God created us....

 Twilight is a poltergeist of sadness.
Leaning to the sun to steal its hind rays.
Vineyard seems to be their fount of gladness 
Twilight is a poltergeist of sadness.
Tilting grapes on vine at night's showiness.
As clocks preserve hone time, prepare your days
Twilight is a poltergeist of sadness.
Leaning to the sun to steal its hind rays.

The language of the heart
The words of the mouth
It is the hands art
It's the rain of the brain when the body is in drought
"Poetry is a group of words expressed in parts"
Yes! Words assembled in peace not rout.

Poetry is your heart and mine
It tastes really good, just like red wine,
Made with grapes, from the world's finest grapevine
                   
                   ...STRANJA......

I got a secret, I ain't supposed to tell, but a secret is made to be told, so what the 
h_ll.  See I heard through the grapevine (when I was pressing some fresh wine)
that Sandra Hudson/Alexandria is brewin' a pot, of delicious witch stew...I know 
how we all love that, both me and you...so lets petition her earnestly to 
pass 'round that big pot, and in honor of Holloween, share what you got!!...
