Sweet Wine

Grey clouds drift from mist-soaked hills,

Draw dryads from woods pristine,

Their rustic song shakes window sills,

Sending dew to vineyards green,

In wind-swept dusk in hills of Gaul,

Ripen grapes, sweet fruit divine,

Gathering these, the farmers haul,

To fill our chalices with wine,

Sweet wine, shade of precious blood,

Your reign, none can destroy,

Gift from Bacchus, that sylvan god,

Fills weary hearts with joy.

Hick...

A great tasting poem...:)

Thank you!

Hi Heavanoceanic. I hope this doesn't give the impression that I'm an alcoholic. I rarely drink, it's just that my mind started drifting to the French vineyards of some centuries ago, and it inspired me. Sweet wine does tast good, though!

:)

LOL...no I didn't get that impression at all...you do have a way of capturing moments and your vivid way of expressing those moments are quite remarkable indeed...
