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

I've only had the homemade stuff, not sure you can buy it actually, it's so good, but then again I love pomegranates too, thanks John.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Love your ethereal gentle pieces. You always describe emotion so very well Frieda and love and beauty suits your style. Nice!

[Frieda P]

Ha don't get used to it John, you know there's always a stinker around the corner, thanks!

[Rita L. Sev]

Sort of the Frieda version of "raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens..." only I prefer your favorite pieces of bliss to those! A light poem that spreads like warm butter on my soul... Now, where can I get some of that pomegranate wine? :)

[Frieda P]

Haha, that put a huge smile on my face Rita, thanks so much, as for the wine, best I can do is get you the recipe, unless you're visiting soon. ;-)

[Rita L. Sev]

I'll hop right onto the bridge... ;)

[Kristin Lee]

A beautiful, fun and light hearted write. There is palpable joy in this peice.

[Frieda P]

So jazzed when someone 'feels' it, thanks muchly Kristin.

I bet if we checked we could find all of these things inside a locket next to your heart. Some might see these things as flights of fancy, but to accurately compose in thought and writing the poets chief aim to capture bliss upon the page, is an honor to receive. Whomever, this person is Frieda I hope they understand what you have tried to say here.

[Frieda P]

Ha very perceptive you are Astro, I hope so too, thanks again, love your reviews!

[redflutterby]

All the things that bring joy to your soul. I find many of them blissful myself. Glad to see this happy little poem today. It makes my heart smile!! xo

[Frieda P]

I had a moment ;-) Glad your heart is smiling my friend, who could ask for more? x

[Alicia Beavis]

Beautiful imagery that carries this piece well. I could re-read over and over some lines for their beauty and I really like your diction in this poem, too. Very nicely penned.

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your visit on my page, appreciate the lovely review.

[Ravyne Hawke]

Your poem is also a collage.. each line could stand alone with such sharp imagery.. all leading to the accumulation of the last two lines. This is beautiful and so well composed. Thank you for sharing it.

[Frieda P]

Wow Lori, thanks for that, never thought of it that way....!
