there’s a musical
note
on the back
of her tongue
never sung
but it
tastes
like vintage
pauillac bordeaux
if you let
her
do the
talking

*The wines of Pauillac are rich,
full bodied and tannic, while gracefully combining elegance with power coupled
with complexity. They have the ability to age and evolve for decades. It
has been said the best Pauillac wines taste like “An iron fist in a velvet
glove.” The Wine Cellar Insider.

How di-wine ;)
I love how musical notes and wine-taste notes come together here.
Oh my--that does sound like me!
Love that music tastes like wine :)
Oh this is delicious...and the taste lingers! Beautifully penned!
Mmm, she sounds lovely.
Great mingling of the senses in this.
Those would be words worth hearing!

Oh, I love the way you have described the wine here....letting IT do the talking is indeed the right idea. Smiles! (Ha, you should share this with the vineyard/winery!)
The opening line is lovely, wine like music should be savored and listened to ~
Thanks for sharing your lovely words ~
Have a lovely day ~

Well, Jennifer, she must have some fine things to say. Your description makes clear the wisdom of listening.
delightful analogy.i think i know some such...:)

This in brevity is perfection..just as the image...pairs so well...I really love the visual of that music note unsung...so GOOD!
The "never sung" line is really telling Jennifer. It's like she's just waiting to let her voice soar. May she have the encouragement and confidence to let her song be heard.
Reminded me of this song by one of Scotland's finest:

Brilliant! :)
Wow, I just love this. You've taken me somewhere unexpected but feeling so right - and with such ease and economy, too.
Much description within a few short lines. Nice work.
Shy? Or just aged really well?

How do you say so much, so briefly? And not only that, but it's poetic as can be. I hate you. ;-)
PS--do you have a book? I want to buy it.
You make me feel good Shay. Maybe one day...
I felt something on my tongue....the words are always delicious...only on this blog
