Wine Sunsets

There is a richness here, not often found.

You probably didn't intend this at all, but this makes me think of rats hiding out at a fancy party or at the fringes of polite society mocking those who would be disgusted if only they knew. They're waiting for a feast of crumbs.

I like Flourish's take on this poem. Reminded me of a Salvadore Dali painting. Very appealing.

I thought of the poor waiters who watched the wealthy eat and drink wine, hoping they would leave a taste to savor. Very creative!

I have run out of words to describe your exquisite poetry. You truly are a wonderful talent.

Richly imagistic poem that works on the imagination.

It reminded me of pretty little fairies flying around and nobody sees them.

Blessings to you, Audrey.

This one was painted most powerfully! A strong, sensitive poem. Brilliant!

Brilliant, Audrey!

Your words certainly paint a visual.

Our invisible demons are rarely absent! I love your imagination, Audrey, and your mastery of words. It's always a pleasure to read your work!

My best to you, Cat:)

Your poem is filled with vivid and intriguing imagery, Audrey. I get new ideas each time I read it. Thank you!

Beautiful! I have always, always loved your poetry with its beautiful images. I don't know what it is, but I find it more approachable than other poetry: you just have a way with words that takes me to another world and I love it! I've missed you!

That line about the party attendees "clothed in customary blanketed emotions" is so apt. Many people behave differently in social situations compared to when they are relaxed at home. Your poetry brings up many different thoughts and ideas after reading it. I also agree with FlourishAnyway as to her thoughts about the rats. Well done Audrey!

Magical! You, lady, are the Einstein of poetry with Mozart as a backup!

Dramatic and playful! Excellent poetry.

The feast begins at the proper time in a most unsupplicated way.

A string of images passed through my mind as I read your brilliant poem. Great write.

A lovely poem and so filled with beauty.

Hi Audrey, I had to leave a comment about such a powerful poems. It is so well crafted. It moved me but it's difficult to put a finger on why. "We cleaned our teeth with stingers" is a vivid image but when you try to identify who the we are, it slithers away. Loved this. It's a poem I would read multiple times and get something different each time. Peace and take care.
