Vinous - Another Word of the Day Poem
Let’s then dine us down the block
where they serve vinous like juice,
that will not get us Toulouse-
Lautrec, but neither a wreck
as there’s no whine in their wine
or fowl in their goose!

Your turn. Make a poem using the word “vinous”, which means: of, resembling, or containing wine. An adjective pronounced (VAHY-nuhs). vine-us
How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.

I'm not sure it can be used this way, but I gave it a go.
Your vinous grin sends me reeling,
disposes of troubles
like champaign's bubbles
and gives me that unsteady feeling.
But on taste it's a cabernet
with undertones lurking.
Inside are you smirking?
My mind's now a cabaret,
conversation hums in a blur.
The saxophone's blaring,
there's no way of hearing
a thing said in this drunken slur.
Flip a coin for a truth or a lie
but it's one lovely way to get high.

The vinous man of thirty eight
was somehow bound in kind
with a man who flew inside the spruce goose.
Apparently, they kept the mass of planks
suspended on a pair of wires in a giant dome
located by the ocean.
Among this tale concerning genealogy,
he told me how he loved his Quaaludes,
Chuck, and cocaine.
Its no wonder, then, I guess
that he smashed a chair and got carried
off by haughty looking men.
neh... It was a cool word to read.
