To Us


To all d’Verse poets — Salùte!

 
L et us drink deep
this wine of friendship
ripened well with time
aged to a vintage true

may this nectar rare
sweeten all our days
may its heady warmth
linger long and lush
lighten life’s burdens
and ever lift our spirits

here’s to us!

  1. I treasured vintage friendships. Unfortunately, I’ve outlived most of mine, sad to say, but when I fall off the perch there’s going to be one helluva celebration in the land of what comes after. (I was going to add a toast, but the only one that comes to mind is too X-rated to share! )

    1. Majority of mine are gone too Bev, because my really good friends were mostly hell raisers — but I got one good old friend still kickin’ with me… 🙂

    1. Billy’s tune I’d forgotten, but the opening measures touched me too surprisingly — and seemed to fit with the poem… he and his band also played their asses off!

  2. Beautiful “wine of friendship”! I will drink the fruit of the vine (without fermentation, and celebrate the same)
