Moms best finger food inebriates
with age; picked from the fruit bearing
vines, while draining rains fertilize the soil, ripening
the grounded weather. Placed ever so particularly
on my countertop it’s labeled: “Awaiting thirst for crackers and sex.”
The speckled ledge persuades judgment as
the lacquered preserves bite my teeth with desire.
An unforgotten cognizance after adolescent mind
enjoys the squishy marbles cradled by a mothers
prayer.
Sold to the hidden corkscrew, locked in
a drawer below the stoned horizon,
thoughts of mildly hard cheese adjacent
in location, waits with anticipation.
Mom always knew what was best.
My Though Process: Doesn't have to be read, more so for me to keep track of where I am drawing these thoughts from.
This idea started from my car where I was eating grapes and thinking about how every time I ate a grape the skin would break in the same spot and how it felt as it squished against my two front teeth. Then I thought about how it is such a great and nutritious snack and how it could be moms easy lunch fix for a side item. And well the thoughts just kept going so I wrote them down as I was driving (I know not safe but I didn’t want to forget). Then when I received the assignment Tim sent I chose a bottle of wine on my granite counter top and immediately got my notes from eating my grapes. Then I started thinking about this poem.
I actually have multiple sources I put into this exercise. I first wanted to know what the ideal conditions were for starting a vineyard and I found this website. This page helped me create my opening. Then I wanted to know what makes you thirsty and found some funny responses on Yahoo Answers. That is where I got inspiration for my wine label. After I wrote the label I kept thinking about how sexual wine could be and looked up other words for vagina and Yahoo Answers brought me to more interesting language. Even though I didn’t use or get inspired from this page I thought it was funny I looked it up. Then I was like hmmm what does wine do… effect your judgment! So I started to write about that while tying in a little description about the counter top and the glass bottle the wine sits in which immediately brought me back to my notes on grapes. After not having ideas for a bit I became distracted by the television and when I returned to this I was wondering what cheeses went well with wine and stumbled across this site. Because the wine is red I choose the suggested description for red wines. And then I kind of just ended it there. The end :)
