Between the Vines

[DWAYNE]

You certainly had a better night than I!

Wonderful descriptions makes me want to go to the vineyards

[grant hayes]

Sounds like last night.

Beautiful! Yes, enjoy life...live like there's no tomorrow...I love the second stanza

[John Wertz]

Your conversational style works so well in this poem. And, of course, you are talking about one of my favorite subjects!

[MHenry]

Another chapter in Dwayne's world, filled with sage advice and witty observations. Act now! Do not limp in old age to the bacchanal! Well done, Dwayne!

[Sumyanna]

Love the lines - but the flow is fabulous. Wonderful advice and poem.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Very beautiful Dwayne. Seize the day!

[divot]

To the last drop, bitter sweet.

[DWAYNE]

This life's
replete with spirits,
why don't you grab a glass,
and drink this one
- a hundred proof -
as if it were your last.

Dance,
while your bones are limber,
sing,
while the lyric's clear,
come,
stain your lips,
with the season's
ripened harvest,
as it bares.

For
this life,
is the growing season,
and this skin's,
for the vintage wines,
so flesh out
every single drop,
then fall asleep
between the vines.
