Ah, to sink into a sea of chardonnay

Allow it to drown my sorrows away

No need for a glass, nor a bottle or two

I’ll just throw myself in, and relax for a few

Take in the aroma, of apples and oak

Forget about time, as I’m in for a soak

This is my fantasy, a dream quite divine

Just me and oceans of chardonnay wine

I blame a lack of sleep for this one  😉


Inane was putting it mildly

All they knew was making merry

A cranberry wine, ever so fine

Those crazy dingleberries

 

They’d stomp about in vats

They drove us all quite bats

Poured a glass or two, whoop de doo

Didn’t matter after all that

 

So if you ever passing the shop

The Dingle’s invite you to stop

Raise up a glass, get drunk off your ass

Hang around for the next new crop

As fate would have it
Appearing again
A visible creature
An angel, so prim

She’ll pour you a glass
Or perhaps even two
As the clock ticks off time
Oh my, how it flew

She’s taking no chances
Making sure you’ll partake
Her slithering friend
Sees to your mistake

While her innocent face
Has you mesmerized, still
She’ll pour you another
Draw you in, against your will

No longer a battle
This one, you did lose
A victim of happenstance
Better knock off the booze

Counting the Days ~ #freeverse #poetry

It’s too hot to sleep

Sweat drips from my pores

Like icicles melting in the sun

The sweltering heat envelops

Even a run through the sprinkler

Offers no respite from

The ball of fire in the sky

I fan myself with the daily paper

Nothing cools down ’round here

Even the ripples of heatwaves

Swirling off the pavement

Are hot enough to fry an egg

So this is summer, they say

Dog days and Chablis nights

And here I sit….

 

Counting the days
Til autumn…
