I am Madeira

Missing image

 

 

 

 

 

Born from the blood
sweat and tears

of passionate farmers  
working their magic,

with the help of
tropical breezes
and pleasant sunshine
wooing lush greenery

like a coy maiden
longing for a kiss, as
wealthy women
oceans away

 

wait with baited breath
for my fortified nectar
that will make sweet love
to their palates.

    I like to woo lush greenery too, when it's not too bashful. I definetly broke a sweat in that last stanza, hot and heavy material. Thank you for entering, always a pleasure.

    Recommended that you be drunk whilst sitting in the shade of a willow, or maybe an Australian Gumtree Your words took me on a soft, mellow journey on a lazy Monday afternoon and I thank you for that. Best wishes in the contest.

    Hmm... there's something a bit off (to me) about the first stanza. But the rest is amazing. Good job, Michael .
