Absolutely love this poem, Goldfinch! I too cook a lot with wine, and usually have a bottle open to take a little sip now and then while cooking. Hey, all great chefs do that!!!
I am more of a Zinfandel guy, but there are days when anything that is red and has alcohol is fine with me! :-)

TWENTY out of TWENTY (2 x 10) for this one ANDY ! DEAN MARTIN one of my fave singers ~ I give lectures on HIM ! He was born in the USA but only spoke Italian before he went to School ~ much better accent (and Singer) than Sinatra ! Dean milks every word ! RIOJA VINO TINTO is my fave red wine ~ the older the better ~ 2009 ~ good vintage ! Angela\'s Dad is Spanish so we always have RIOJA for celebrations (He gets a \"good price\" muy barato !). Beef & Mushroom Risotto with Rioja Tinta in the mix and the glass ~ Ese es Pardiso ! Thanks for the memory ~ Brian !

Brilliant Goldfinch60,

What a charming poem. The Rioja is very tempting. I am a white wine person though all the way.

Keep writing in 2018

Bravo Goldi!
Your poem...un pranzo squisito!! (A delicious meal) with the perfect ingredients...the risotto, the wine šŸ·, and Dean Martinā€™s ā€œVolareā€ for dessert! Awesome! I totally enjoyed the read! Grazie! Going right into my favorites!
Now I must go shopping for that RiojašŸ˜‰

Well penned, and it is lighting up our lives when we need it most: During dark times!
Incredible picture! You must have one heck of a camera. Was it taken through a telescope?

Good write Gold. Yes, they always \'went up\' to the Temple at Jerusalem. An easy walk down hill on the way back.

Wonderful symbiosis of a personally generated POEM \'n PIC ! Science cannot give a definitive answer for the exact and complementary dimensions of the Earth / Moon system ~ or how the Moon was formed ! It is much bigger and closer than one would expect ! Venus has no Moon and Mars two small ones the size of the Isle of Wight ! The BIBLE says GOD created a Greater Light (The SUN) to govern the Day ~ and a Lesser Light (The MOON) to govern the Night. Each light has a separate role and I thanks GOD for them every day ~ AMEN ~ Thanks for highlighting the MOON ~ BRIAN

Easy, Goldie, the words come from our muse. Have no idea though where the muse comes from.
Interesting concept of the mind stopping. It seems to me that my mind never stops! Maybe the stops are so short we don\'t even realize it, and from those gaps come the words. What am I talking about, this is way over my head, needs intellectuals like you!

I can relate, we do FEEL poetry. We don\'t write poetry because we want to, we write because we HAVE to.

I love the concept of \'talking to GOD\' to explain your belief. It makes it more understandable, more intimate, more human. Great writing again, Goldfinch!

THANKS ANDY: BEAUTIFUL ACCOUNT OF THE \"JOURNEY ON THE FAITH ROAD\" It so mirrors my experience ~ it made me cry ! I love the GOD / ANDY dialogue because that is how it works ! We are both Scientists so we acknowledge the BIG BANG THEORY ~ but it is only a THEORY ! The BIBLE goes back to the TRUTH and says: \"In the beginning ~ before the BB ~ GOD CREATED the material necessary to form the UNIVERSE @ the BB ~ AMEN\" My Atheist Science Tutors called that METAPHYSICS ~ my retort was always \"I believe it by Faith ~ because I\'ve MET A GOD ~ and I talked to HIM this morning\" TESTIMONIES are so so important ~ Thanks for DARING ! I Loved your visual ~ I too chose a SUNRISE ~ but also a ROAD ~ to bring ME & YOU and all the BELIEVERS in MPS \"DAILY\" nearer to OUR GOD ~ Amen ~ Your Brother in Christ ~ BRIAN
