Wine for the ear

sorenbarrett

Music, wine for the ear

to the uninitiated, sweet is best

any type intoxicating it's clear

juicy and sugary its test

 

Over time darker dryer tones

appeal to the mature palate

flavor discordant earthy zones

dry, musky, dark, wins by popular ballot

 

Full bodied, washing flavor over senses

vintage and blended musty notes

pouring harmony into dissonances

filling ballot boxes with cultured votes

      Great analogy (I'm saving metaphor for another time). Subtle flavours with fine optimistic notes to close.
      Very much savoured and enjoyed, Soren.

        I like it. And I'd like to hear the sound that emanates from Ors. I've heard that it's a "cool" sound!

        • sorenbarrett

          Thanks for the read and for the comment. The only ors I've heard are those in a sentence but I may have heard of on in my Sci-fi reading.

          moments ago, i painstakingly scrolled thru your quite impressive list of accomplishments, and could envision each individual experience, and felt awed by such an extensive lifetime of adventure speculating that living each moment to the maximum fulfillment only induced a mouth watering reaction in me to avail myself (with considerably less impressive personal endeavors), nevertheless i would feel delighted to befriend thee even if further familiarity predicated on communication thru email more so than reciprocating courtesy my poetic side aware that a person whose range of trials and tribulations dwarfs my meager rather mundane existence (more cerebral than participatory countless opportunities mostly dabbling with writing embellishing elements of style as a lame attempt to accentuate mein kampf constituting threescore and six orbitz round the nearest star more or less insulated from daredevil events (mainly on account of being a shy person, who only lately learned about the benefits of powder milk biscuits - heavens they're tasty) safely ensconced within familiar four walls (analogous to self imprisonment - linkedin to extreme anxiety when outside the realm of familiarity, yet craving to feast on buzzfeeding my overactive imagination thru reading from avast treasure trove of printed material) trying to steal away into a zone of obliviousness to the gain a false sense of security, especially the frightful political situation in these United States of America. rather than remain ignorant regarding the coming fury betokening clashing of terrible swift swords, i try to become educated about webbed wide world happenings reading (what i hope to be) reliable sources of accurate information courtesy the following publications named mother jones, smithsonian magazine, the nation, and time magazine.

            I thank you most humbly for your comments that are too kind. I have lived what I feel is a full life but also feel so have everyone else. We all live what we choose and if we feel it too dull we need only look deeper into what we have experienced and feel. I will send you my e-mail by e-mail and would welcome any correspondence. Once again I thank you for your interest and most kind remarks.

                  My preference is a full bodied Rioja soren.
