Pomegranate Wine

The scent of morning dew

  hugging embrace of dawn

coffee's wafting aroma

 sunset's sumptuous  purple hue

gentle zephyr's kiss of butterfly wings

   moonlit dances winking at the sun

ocean breezes that toss my locks

         wildflowers scenting my hair

  imploding stars upon the night

sweet taste of pomegranate wine,

     remind me how you bliss my soul

Pomegranate Wine? Yuck!! lol Beautiful poem, but someone would have to actually SPIKE the wine with a different liquor to make it not taste of a medicinal tone. I sooooo "respectfully" want to peel away at your poem, here, but right off the bat... I wished to see that it has some space above and blow the poem so as to center it and give it a proper stage to perform on. : ) The color is perfect... and appropriate!! Your rhymes have also gotten a little tighter in the respect that they are of a more soothing nature in the beat and how each word that you have chosen to represent the scents and scene of color and that unusual palette of such an acquired taste, is undoubtedly delicious in its own sense. : ) Aphrodite would summon a kiss for you if you were top pose a cheek for her fruitful kiss after a reading of this beautiful poem. I Love it. Pomegranate.... yuck. Poem.... beautiful!! xoxo -Mark

You're a silly man, you have no idea how grand it is...I'm just so thrilled to see you back that I'm lingering in your comments, with a glass of that wine! ha....jazzed you like this, and have missed your reviews like mad. I'm ready for that kiss! xo

[Emerald Seas]

Never had pomegranate wine, but you make it sound so delicious. Lovely writing, Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Sera, it's really yummy.

[Tai Ryens]

Metaphorasizing an addiction as a lover, in this case alcohol, has always been intriguing to me; seeing how the addiction overwhelms you to the point where you regard it as a person. Well done.

[Frieda P]

Ha yep me and old Pomegranate 'got a thing going on'............sing that tune. ;-)

[KAOlmsted]

Clearly you did not have enough wine, because the morning you describe here is much too lovely...beautiful as always...hey, Pierced is back xD

[Frieda P]

Ha you would say that! I had a moment, give me a break, that was for John so he'd get off my fookin back ;-) I hope, I'm so jazzed.

[KAOlmsted]

I know, I saw him on your fookin back a couple of poems ago xD

I am, too...

[Frieda P]

I still don't think he commented on the one you said 'wonder what John will say'....

[KAOlmsted]

You mean he's not actually stalking you, or me, reading every single review I leave on your page and vice versa? The nerve of him! xD

[Frieda P]

I know, you can never get the good ones to stalk ya...! ;-)

[KAOlmsted]

Ha! xD

[Frieda P]

xD

[Baby Ricochet]

Where ever it is I'm ready to go

[Frieda P]

It's homemade Mark, you'd love it....

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

I can smell and taste it all - me head is spinning in indulgence.

[Frieda P]

Sounds good to me, do you have Pomegranate wine at your place?

[s y e]

I loved the title, had me really intrigued. I absolutely love Pomegranates but now I want some of this wine, ha. I loved the color of the font, very suiting to the write.

This was really perfection in one short write, I loved how you wrote it, made it short but yet- it makes an impact. Well done, another one bites the dust :P

[Frieda P]

Ha bites the dust eh? I was hoping it'd live on for a little bit longer noodlebumble! ;-P

[s y e]

Bahaha, shush! ;-)

The opening two lines reminded me of how a morning felt when I was a kid, and still a relatively happy one...every morning walk into the kitchen was the start of a new adventure...then I got to the coffee and starting thinking about how that has become the highlight of most of my days since high school ;P

Another little thing: in the past you've been ambivalent about me pointing out "signatures" of your writing, but I now consider the zephyr to be one of your most diverse images ;)

[Frieda P]

Haha coffee is life Benji...my next poem is going to be dancing on a zephyr whilst imbibing in poppy wine ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Haha amen to that...looking forward to the zephyr dance ;)

[Blue Ivory]

Just the name had me going "Oooooh! I have to read this!"
Was not disappointed!
I love the color of the font by the way. Makes me taste something sweet in my mouth.
For some reason this is the second poem I've read in the past 5 minutes that includes the words "butterfly wings"...
Again I'll mention your descriptive words. You just really know what you're doing!

[Frieda P]

So jazzed you pointed out the color, I was trying to get the color of that pomegranate wine, thanks Siren!

[Ken Simm.]

Go through your loves and you will find this list. This list that requires nothing and no-one else to make it complete.

[Frieda P]

So perceptive my dear friend, thanks Ken.
