Jigsaw Poem by Phillip

A wine remembered

The wine, decanted,

with amber temper:

even with a twist of lemon,

still left taste of timber.





A shout of carefree pleasure

or just hair-of-the-dog,

it had the wings to chase me

around in the fog.



By Phillip Thrift from Poetical Bits



This is a jigsaw poem. I will post one a day. Thanks to all who are taking part.

Very lyrical. I like how the first stanza focuses on taste and the second on emotion.

Thank you for taking part in our jigsaw challenge.

This poem makes the most of each word. It forces you to read it slowly and savor it like that first sip of wine.

A great tribute to a wine that tastes of "timber." This is tightly written. well done

Thanks for the nice comments. Readers can sometimes see more in a poem than the author thought of when written!
