Wine & Life – A Poem

22 Feb

Wine and life, the same, it’s true.

If a cup holds naught but insipid wine,

One sip is more than enough,

But if the taste be rare and fine,

Even a full glass will not do.

- David Clark

The ghost of Robert Burns meets the ghost of a Sung Dynasty poet over a cup of very old wine. Now, as then, five lines should be enough to say what matters.
