"In Vino Veritas"

Writing Prompt: Write an entire poem the way Tyler Knott Gregson www.tylerknott.com writes them, (even if poetry isn't your usual style, push yourself outside the box) in which you are not allowed to edit a single line once it's down.  No changing words, no revising the order, nothing.  Create snapshots of moments instead of perfectly edited poetic masterpieces.

WWTKGD - Write a poem like Tyler?! Ha. Here's my attempt. PS Usually, when I write, I have some, um liquid courage, in the form of glass(es) of wine. Ironically, tonight, I wrote this and was drinking only water.

"In Vino Veritas"

You are a rare vintage

Vine-ripened to savor

The sweet flavor

Of love's swirl on my palate

You are of full body

And strong finish

And your thick legs

Prove you are potent

You are a slow sip

And no one would dare

Spit you out

And so I swallow you

Intoxicated

Inebriated

"In vino veritas"
