Hi-

I'm not sure that I get this, even with
all the extraneous notes.
The purpose of poetry is the disordering
of all of the senses, and that can never
be accomplished in 3 lines of rubbish,
no matter how Napa Valley they are.

Four stars for effort.

    I didn't know that zombies had senses, but their woofs sure make scatophagous remarks.

I enjoyed the perfect form, style and presentation in your Haiku poem. The imagery, (green translucent grapes on fine white china plate) The description of the vintage wine made me want to taste it, grown from the grape vine, (nature) to the palate. Such a delightful and satisfying taste. No negative comments. I would recommend, Sauvignon Blanc Grapes
to my friends. Excellent.

This is a sweet haiku. It is very short, but well written with strong words. When you explained the meaning at the bottom the whole poem made even more sense, and now I totally get the image you are showing.

    Thank you, Laura. There has been one pretentious person who objected to my notes - and she has her own 'fan' following on this FanStory site. So I am really encouraged by your review!

Tomprato,
Your 5/7/5 haiku poem is beauifully written. Your words paint a mental picture in the reared head of lucious grapes sitting atop a white Wedgewood plate. You effectively and abundanty used alliteration. I like your satori line: "Sauvignon vintage." You poem was a joy to have read and reviewed. I'd recommend this poetic Haiku gem to other reviewers. Your poem is a splendid entry in the 5/7/5 Poetry contest. I wish you good lucking the contest with your 17 syllable poem. Have a great day.
Melissa.

    Thank you, Melissa. You are truly very sweet, because those words - 'luscious grapes sitting atop a white Wedgwood plate' - were just what I had in mind! Excellent review. One of the best I've received.

This is an interesting and original 5-7-5 poem that combines grapes, white wine and bone china into a simple work of art. I like the simple presentation, having no picture but using appropriate color combinations. Good luck to you, Jeanie Mercer

I like this format because it forces you to choose each and every word. You chose well. I also like your post in that the words alone tell the story. I've seen some other entries that are good, but would not make sense without the art work. I like art work and use it myself, but at the end of the day, your words have to carry through. Yours did. Good luck in your contest. Regards, Bill

    Thank you, Bhogg, for an excellent review. We really don't need art work to support our literary efforts. :)

Nice and sweet piece of poetry I enjoyed reading this poem and it paints a lovely picture in my head of being in a vineyard smelling all the grapes. Good work 0:D
