Prayer to Dionysus, God of Wine
Oh Dionysus, great god of wine
Bestow us the nectar of your vine
Thy fruit this season flourishes with zest
Please ensure this vintage is the absolute best
Fermented and aged to perfection is our fantasy
Your wine on our tongues begets pure ecstasy

Well written Ron. The rhyming couplets are very effective.
Nice!
What a wonderful write!
Love the mythology reference, Ron.
One person’s myth is another person’s drunken belief
Nicely done quadrille. I also enjoyed the rhymes. It made the poem flow smoothly.
May the god of grape answer your prayer. Cheers!
very sensual, Ron.

A fine hymn to an ancient art! It always fascinates me to see evidence of winemaking from 2000 years ago and more!
I think the rhyme was very effective, giving power to the prayer. Nice one.
Nice rhyming….a prayer for the vineyard sommalier!
Lots of vineyards in my State / Oregon. A beautiful plea indeed ……
