It's International Put Your Poem In A Shop Month

Finally finally after talking the talk about IPYPIASM at Ignite Dublin earlier this month, I walked the walk and put two poems in two shops yesterday.

 

First a nice drop of wine for the Chrimbo dinner and the start of my poem Drinking Now (available to purchase in my dinky poetry book here, the ideal Christmas present. 4 Euros or £4, a bargain. Can also be hung on the Christmas tree as a novel decoration)

Drinking Now

This wine wants to have its way with you.

It wants to seduce you with spicy notes,

dreams of long, lazy dinners and long lost loves,

warm you, make you smile, lower your defences.

This wine wants to come at you from a different angle,

touch you in unfamiliar places,

your tongue, your mouth, yes, your lips.

See swirling within, the silky undercurrents -

they have something to say.

 Then a beaker of decaff Capuccino and a choccie from the lovely Butlers Coffeeshop leaving A Matter of Taste for other coffee imbimbers to relish.

A Matter Of Taste

You make me feel

you are what gets me out of bed

keeps me awake at night

the smell of you, the way you look

not everyone truly appreciates your depths

delicious, warm and dark,

smooth with an undercurrent of bitterness.

I can’t start the morning until I have you

Lots and lots more at the instigator Various Cushions, plus the non-competative scoreboard. (Heavens to Murgatroy, the things these poets get up to!)
