Vino Poems

Vino - Anacreontic Couplet

Oh wonderful, tempting wine,
Delicate fruit of the vine,
The grape, a luscious berry,
Chosen to keep us merry.
It was deemed medication,
Despite intoxication.
It may relieve pain and strife,
It's a paradox of life.
Red or white sparkling or still,
You’ll love it, I know you will.
Choose a bottle from the shelf
Twill draw you out of yourself.
Enhances meals, its vino
The best pick-me-up

Vino

it has often been
asked perhaps
philosophically

about the liquid
in a glass if it 
is half empty
or half full

if it's
a dark red 
and very dry
wine the glass 

will
always
be full all
of the time

In Vino Veritas, But Whiskey's Better

In Vino Veritas, But Whiskey’s Better

In wine there is certainly such real-truth to be found,
And in whiskey there is even more of it to go around!

Wine may maketh one truly sagacious, whilst whiskey
Elevates one to a level known as “For Members Only!” 

As modern-day bards seeketh true meaning in their daily
Thoughts—whiskey is man’s key to

En Vino Veritas

i have been reading the contents
via, printed correspondence
for some time now

and so it was only natural
there’d be a moment
i’d pour, to
sip the promise

when switching from merlot to zinfandel
a tipped glass need not be
shattered into shards

time only knows if; when
the chance will come to
escape to your serenity
and charming ways

visit for an eternity; or
just a few days

so

Visions In Vino

Lo doth the grapes drip from my lips 
 and stain my mouth like royalty
Awake in the darkness
Learning the truth of the vines
Hearing the whispers of weeds
Saturated with the knowledge of life
Enlightened by the promise of death
Moved by Miles
Seduced by the highway
A golden horn of broken yellow
Played softly to a beast
The gentle hum of change

In Vino Veritas

Late at night
Losing all sense of time
Caught in the web's
Ghostly glow
A glimpse of an ad
During a sip of ruby red
A muse was born
(Amusin' illusion)
To tempt the Melpomene in me.
Dionysus let slip the flights of fancy.
A flirtation began.
It was love at first sight
As I drank deep of the Pierian spring
But my love she doth often unrequite.
It
