McGREGOR VINES IN WINTER

It is believed that 8 of Earth’s leylines cross one another in McGregor, making this village a powerful planetary energy junction. My youngest daughter & I were privileged to live on a small holding vineyard in McGregor, for

A Vine in Winter
denuded of foliage
left with the bare essence of my existence
a gnarled unassuming frame
from which new life will burst forth in spring
firmly anchored in fertile soil
the terroir for the vineyard
selected with care
basking in the watery winter sun
incapable of turning my head for the best aspect
consoling myself with the fact
that my tender tri-lobed

Gods vineyard all glory to God's Holy Spirit

Vineyard in the Autumn,
Vineyard in the Autumn, grape leaves turning yellow and brown,
they've fallen and covered the ground.
Now, soon, Golden Moon will swoon in the night sky!!!
Nature abounds with the sacred gift of life.

Your Vineyard
You have not yet learned how to scream
Nor shout or yell or call
You have learned how to bottle
Pouring wines from your fingertips
You are a vineyard of emotions
Anger plucked too early from the vine
Is the sourest crop you grow here
But guilt is your most popular flavor
You sell a wine called "The Seven Sins"
You had no idea

Ballerina Firefly of the Enchanted Vineyard
Ballerina firefly,
Your beauty,
Is that of enchanted vineyards,
In the sighs,
of the Summer wine,
Enchantress,
Down to earth,
As spring lillies,
Your beauty,.
Is scintillating,
And kind,
with its modest stars,
Even in autumns undressing,
And shedding of leaves,
The way you change dresses,
In evenings,
elegant and rugged verandas,
And shimmer in and out,
Of them,.
into a naked casualness,
Bright and warm,
as vineyard flowers,
From their petals,
And your Beautys gaze,
I

The Vineyard In the Desert Heat
Three hundred and eighty-eight acres of it runs across the desert land and a thousand peasants kneel in the ground gathering moisture in their hand to solidify the land. Hundreds of them partitioned in rows to start the promiscuous shows with scorched lips and burnt toes they gather the grapes from the vine just in

Gielie Se Muse
Wellington vineyards bathed by sun's golden ray,
Where luscious grapes in symphony sway,
A nectar's birth, an art divine,
Behold Doolhof and their noble wines.
Crimson hue, an artist's delight,
Telling stories about secrets of the night,
With each sip, a tale unfurls,
Of 80 hectares and passionate swirls.
On lips it dances, a velvety kiss,
Igniting senses with flavours of bliss,
A symphony of

Vineyard Blues
If ever there was a tale of such woe,
a tale of music, lust, and revelry!
Of Juliet and I, her Romeo,
when the reggae drums put a spell on me.
In my yen for Herbs and thirst for the vine
Romeo joined the queue full as a tick -
on the grapes of wrath,

Martha's Vineyard Vacation
Up with the children at seven
For blueberry pancakes and ham.
Flapjacks enough for eleven -
How many will fit in the pan?
Lay out some slices of bread.
Spread with egg salad maybe,
Some tuna and celery for Fred,
And a “p,b and j” for the baby!
Fetch from the line all the towels
And swimsuits hanging to dry.
Ignore the grumbles and

In the soft cooling
Silence of early twilight
Blue fades to purple.
The wishing star’s reflected
In the ocean sky.

Vineyard
Vigorous, plentiful
vines, diligently pruned
venture trained upon wire,
vast leaves cropped for dolmas.
Valued for complex taste,
vermillion morsels make
vintage wine with patience.

The Vineyard Is Planted
The vineyard is planted
The grapes are growing
The Master Vintner
Is tending the vine
The grapes are growing
It won’t be too long now
With Christ in the Kingdom
We’ll taste the new wine
It won’t be too long now
The wait will be worth it
The Master Vintner
Is tending the vine
The wait will be worth it
The harvest is coming
With Christ in the Kingdom
We’ll

A View of the Vineyard
The chartreuse pearls hung on the pregnant vine
as whispered jade of leaves in autumn breeze.
The necklaces of trellis did entwine
like clefs of absinthe notes in verdant keys.
