When Asked To Write Of What I Am Made
When Asked To Write Of What I Am Made
Water mostly,
most in the form
of tea;
a little red wine (read, whine),
and a relentless belief, though quite untrue,
that all that tissue
(both the soft and hard kind)
will endlessly renew–
Why the tea believes that
is hard to say,
though the wine, I think,
has an inkling
of the unsupportability
of such a notion.
********************
For Magaly Guerrero’s post on Real Toads to write of what one is made of. Pics are mine. I didn’t mean to emphasize red wine, but I happen to have done this drawing (separately) of a wine glass last night, so thought I’d use. (The “read” above, by the way, is supposed to be the imperative tense of the word and not past tense.)

Tea brews wonderful things. And a splash of wine always makes things so much more interesting. 🙂

Good to see you here, Karin! Ha, this is delicious (pun intended). I so love the second stanza in particular.

Tea and red wine…..we are alike in those pleasures!

I can attest to the fact that one’s tissue does indeed renew itself.

That’s good to know! And I am glad to hear it in your case especially.

This is a fun read, K. I’ve learned from some place that we are either growing or dying. Since I am no longer counting up but rather counting down now I’m in the latter stage.

Love how you start with the obvious of being water, going over to tea and wine..
