of these inviting sprites.
My maidens of the vineyard
craft a piquant blush.
When their clothes are shed,
pulses quicken underbrush. very well crafted line IMO.
Thigh high in Pinot Noir, another great line - sexy, abrupt and dark - well done
they dance to my delight.
I find myself impassioned
by their autumn crush.

summoning a rush
of blood to my loins,
as they tread the pulp of light.
These ladies of the vine
compose a thrilling blush.
They glow in the sunlight,
effuse a rosy flush,
but their enthralling stomp
will march into the night.
I’ll readily consume
their viticulture’s crush.
On the grape-stained oak dance floor, This line seems a little long. I can't really see how to trim it. But I would if I could.
their breasts gently brush
as they press the rare juices,
their blithe gestures excite. I like that blithe excites.
My vineyard lasses decant
an enticing blush.
Their cellars are top-shelf, I'm on the fence about "top shelf" But it might depend on the exact mood you intended.
the inventory lush.
By way of their charm and craft,
my ardor ignites. I eagerly await
their superb autumn crush.
These maidens of the vine
create a tempting blush.
