oenophily

Squeeeeeeeeeal …thunk

the satisfying pop

of a cork

pulled

out the dew grained bottle

cold beaded pearls

slide in satisfied whorls

rivulets, graceful

mingled drops.. fall

as you tip .. and pour

plink, plink, plonk

the satisfied glug

of iced, chardonnay blanc

and little bubbles skitter excitedly

up the side of your glass in

sloshed frenzy

golden light liquid

a deliciously limpid

pool of pineapple, mango

and lemon fruit eau

de vie

du vin

sherbert dip piquant

tang of a kiss

with a slight, bite

clean, crisp

and a slight

flutter; a heady

rush of intoxy tipsy

dipso delight.

And a slight,

tingling, feeling,

of merry giggle

out of control

reeling

from drinking

that first, deep

draught

caught up in a cold

afterglow

slow

slow

quick

the alcohol

flows

to the blood

and a gradual flood

of endorphin

happy, hazy

lazy, fuzzy

feeling

gently

washes over

like a gold spring

splashing

gooseberry scent

dionysia content:

smooth, butterfly

flutterby bubbles

tickles

teases

pleases:

an oenophilic

idyllic

drink.

    Great piece, I no longer indulge in the drink, yet I felt a riveting sensation to sip the glass of CHARD…

    Bi for now…

    Thank you Isaac!

    I think words can flow quite as easily as a bubbly drink! Glad I provided some enjoyment though!

    Maybe I should write a piece about the zingy effects of sharp lime and soda too? One for the future…

    Cheers!
