Tempting palate; a lively song,
finest of grapes that make me sweet.
Cajun music, come dance along,
Acadian Two-Step; the beat.
It's your taste buds I will pleasure,
a cowboy's waltz, you will treasure.
Reeling you around the dance floor,
I'll leave you coming back for more.

First attempt at a Rispetto
Dancing to tunes from Beausoleil (Cajun Music)
Reel - Promenading to the beat of the song
Personifying wine, made from fruits of the earth, with earth being nature's element.
Rispetto
A Rispetto, an Italian form of poetry, is a complete poem of two rhyme quatrains with strict meter.
The meter is usually iambic tetrameter with a rhyme scheme of abab ccdd. A Heroic Rispetto is
written in Iambic pentameter, usually featuring the same rhyme scheme.

Pam, Thank you for the applauses and your lovely words of praise to me. I loved this group when we got to see them down in Rhode Island and it was my first introduction to cajun music. I'm very happy you enjoyed this one. It was fun listening to the cd while I wrote. Love and God bless, Joyce

Oh I love it! The Rispetto style is actually one of my favorites, despite it's simplicity there is something so elegant about it and you truly amplified the elegance here. Thank you so much for showing this to me and good luck in the contest!

Wow, this one goes straight to my heart!
Cajun spice and sweetest vine make for
one heck of a good time! This is a whirling,
twirling, invigorating verse. Now, I'm thirsty!

Blue, Thank you for the lovely words of praise you gave to me for this one. We saw this band live at a dance hall in Rhode Island a number of years ago. I never promenaded so much in my life as I did that night. LOL They sure know how to keep the crowd moving. I'm very happy you enjoyed and enjoy the wine if you have some. Love and God bless, Joyce
