“In small towns people scent the wind with noses of uncommon keenness.” – Stephen King
“The scent of wine, oh how much more agreeable, laughing, praying, celestial and delicious it is than that of oil!” – Francois Rabelais
It’s in the air
Les pins
Sentinels
Watching over
Mon village
Old enough
To know all
Our secrets
Wise enough
To keep them
Le vent
Scatters leaves
Blending
Avec lavande
Romaire et
Autre fleures de saison
Intoxicating fragrance
New wine
Unique the perfume
Permeates
Les corbières
Lingers in my
Clothing
Scents my bedding
And my dreams

Merci beaucoup Becka! It is always a pleasure to hear from you. It seems I have been away from the action too long. 🙂 x
I bought a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau last week and am thinking of you! (sorry if I misspelled the kind of wine). Delicious poem.
Merci beaucoup! 🙂
Old enough to know all the secrets and wise enough to keep them….love this…oh i bet these old towns could fill books and books and books with what they’ve seen and witnessed… love the fragrance of new wine.. the part of germany where i live is a wine growing region as well… and the scent of wine is always a bit magical for me… wishing you happy and peaceful holidays…
