Hunting sunlight and rain
Roots grow robust
Leaves bluster and shine

Climate a struggle
What yield to come?
We pray it be fine

Harvest stage, amine
Interlude for the throng
Celebrating bounty, rejoice

Jubilee... Drink sweet wine...
APOCOPE

Up along the trellis                           
No longer touching earth
A cheerful crawling vine

Twisting all around
Every which way and that
This color of pine

Destination unknown
Ornamental tangle of ribbon
Shift course, new virgin line
CHEERS!
Fill the Hunger, Quench the Thirst, Feed the Mind

“THE POETRY OF FOOD AND DRINK”  
by John Siwicki.

Poetry of food and drink is a collection of poems
recounting the history of cultural lifestyle, art of
cooking, and beverage creation throughout history.  
These poetic descriptions are an example of how
sustenance is woven throughout mankind and
connects us all with celebration and friendship.

In one's lifetime there are various opportunities, and
for whatever reason, some are seized and others
rejected. On occasion, we heartily greet or labor to
befriend each other, but what we all have in
common is the need for Food & Drink.

Here's to poetry and a long and fruitful life,
CHEERS !

The Poetry of Food and Drink’ is now available to
amuse and delight...
