POEM: Grape Seduction

September 29, 2012 · Scotorum

This was composed for the CPC Saturday Share poetry challenge. This week’s must-use line was “Come with me to the wine country.”

Grape Seduction

If you love her, but are afraid.
she’ll balk to be your mistress maid,
Invite her to wine country glade:
dinner for two, a serenade.

For romance at the end of day,
they say a glass of cabernet
will pave the way for your loveplay,
as will a mug of chardonnay.

“Oh no it won’t!” I hear you say.
“She will surely go away.
“If you want to have your way,
“only a GLASS of chardonnay
“may pay non-gay to cause her stay.”

To which reply, I must object.
To bring about love’s intersect,
dispensing vessel’s shape defect
means less than her basic affect
plus contents’ romantic effect.

The objects of affection who poured a line: Angel Love, Diane, Michelle K.
