Give me but some music
- in heavens empty hours -
a piece of song, giddy-paced
and innocence for innocence
I’m a horse that never tires
While a cup of wine
makes light airs
and merry hearts
It too can unyoke the humour of the immature,
“So, wait, you think if you say a few right things
I’ll let you on it?”
Ha! No I won’t
you weak spirit
I see right through you
Oh, I’m not lily-white of hue,
I’m more the colour of blood red roses
But that one there, *pointing*
he relieves my passion
see this ring?
I frisk for him
.

Snowbird by Rani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem
The whole world is waiting, all ears agog,
For your birthday, to start a dialogue,
Your goodness is daily praised by their gongs,
For at no time, you blamed them for their wrongs.
Your heart gleams bright, free of any hatred,
So why won't your birthdays be this sacred.
Even the mirrors can't hide your beauty ~
That, that nature adopts as its duty.
Bottles! Allow all wines to jailbreak~
Their readiness to spread joy is at stake,
Bellies! Why tarry to relieve your hunger?
Allow your satiation be kept younger.
All directions now lead just to your home,
Your birthday frees idle legs of their roam.
Even angels wish you happy birthday.
Many happy returns our mouths pray.
Wines, sweet wines and more,
Stored, blended in decades,
Cellars scenery.
wine’s fragrance is heavenly
love the feel of the cool crystal goblet stem in my hand
in a few minutes my thoughts are mushy
I become extremely giddy and gushy
( The Woman)
That we are neither
that we are apart
Love or freind
my loyalies lie
with my desire not to
be alone
that you are away
from me
(The Man)
My love please don't
fry I shall be
with you again
and then we can be
lovers
(The Woman)
That you are away I
am neither freind or
lover that you have
selfishly allowed
me to miss you
(the Man)
My love who have taken you
from me that you wish me
to be alone: that I have
no one: none but you
(the Woman)
That you have reassured me
I might consider you in
my chooses. Than again
I might sweetly chant you
as Lover
(The Man)
Than I shall listen to your
sweet voice by morning
That I am away from you
to listen as you speak me
as Lover
( The Woman)
Such shall have us together
until than
My Love.
I shall sip the swetest
wines to
remmeber your kiss!
Yes!
At the top of my voice, I confess that
Intoxicated I am by life's unsurpassed beauty
For its finest wine I have drunk:
God's love!

The Ripe Olives and Red Wines of Florence
David J Walker
Austere is the way I remember
The convent in Florence
Perfectly white walls
And the small single bed fronted
By worn floors from daily
kneeling in prayer
A simple soup
will be served
At supper
My native guide says
Possiamo fare di meglio in città
Either way there will be
Ripe olives and red wine served with
Artisan bread dipped in garlic
Sweet basil and virgin olive oil
Oh, Life,
A variety of your finest bottles of wine
You have opened for me
And I
Having tasted a good number of them
Intoxicated by you have I become,
Thus now,
I am asking for more!

There are numerous kosher wines, and they are usually sweet.
Without them, a Passover seder meal cannot be complete.
Among the flavors of wines are blackberry.
Another popular kind is made with elderberry.
If you want a sweet red wine, choose cherry.
Sweet cream concord comes as both dark and white.
Anyone can make a selection that is right.
As long as any rabbi considers them kosher,
they can be served at any Passover seder.

You will always love fruits of our labor,
And both sweet and dry you will savor;
To me worth trying;
Another bottle buying;
Still stay and remain on my best behavior.
Jim Horn
Such a wide range
Wines for a change
Pink fruity wine
Sip goblet fine
Red blossom vine
Now wine and dine
Dry white wine taste
Gulp in fond haste
Champagne froth here
Bubbly new spheres
Coffee wine swirl
Brown cuppa world
So many treats
Booze on a beat
Waltz wine foray
Sampling sips play

Dinner with old friends:
salmon with red cabbage, asparagus, Caesar's salad, penne with
broccoli, two white wines.
Jane Jacobs could analyze how it all got to our table
or even how their daughter came to us from Cambodia.
The economy or market bringing a thing of beauty, the farms, the trucks,
such comfort. The ancients knew this too
yet we are anxious about famine, genocide and nuclear war.
How can we organize (govern) ourselves to end self-imposed suffering?
That Quebec and Puerto Rico may secede peacefully at any time a
majority chooses is a source of pride. Why not Kurds, Chechyns,
Tibetans and Armenians?
Difficult to write a poem about it. At table, candlelight, we debate
or whine about the other side winning and making a mess
of our lives. The election could be stolen, tampering with voting
machines,
what policy question does that possibility raise? War in Iraq,
school testing, prison population. Religion, the abyss surrounding the
little promontory life.
It'll all work out in the end. Go to your daily practice, be a good citizen.
Another failed effort to write what I mean. Such confusion, yet
two white wines.
