Such a waste -

Indeed. 😕

Sort of like one or 2 rotten potatoes corrupting an entire barrel
OK

LMFAO!

Dear A,

I’m pretty sure the wrinkled ones stomped in with the plump ones still make a mighty fine red. Nanna never wasted a thing! Lovely write and pic BTW.

Gotta get them when they first start; then the healthy ones can incorporate the bitterness.  But, wait too long, and sometimes they're too far gone and would destroy a vintage, Honoria.  I'm unsure humanity can undo the damage they're doing.  

Thank you muchly for the read and kind words.

Or the larger part of humanity.  Thank you, BP. Much appreciated.

this is at once hits shades of sensorial philosophical literal n much more striking heights in your wondrous brevity of viz poetics dear A..  reflects prismatic bin its varifold saidness!

Thank you, my friend. Always enjoy your deep interpretations. xo

Mother Nature isn’t perfect. Give her a goddamn break.

Only kidding, Wise One.

You already know. (;

P.S. The visual aspect is stunning.

LOL!  Neither are people, LG! I guess that's why we're both cluster fk's half the time! ;)

Thank you. xo

Me to myself: "Is this a political poem because there are no migrant workers left to pick the grapes?"
Also me to myself: "Is this wisdom of the ages simply written for those with higher intelligence to grasp and appreciate?"

Thank you, Wally.  Wisdom is recognizing there is more than one interpretation to anything. Your middle name could be Metaphor.

Much appreciated.

I love how you mic drop these little gems

I love how you love them.
Thank you. xo

A botrytis cinerea...from a noble rot will come? Very deep A.

Thank you, my friend.  Truly appreciated.  <3

The fewer the words, the starker the image.
The problem is not the source but the product.
Could there be evil in the best of us mutating to the natural tendencies of a fallen world?  But who could we blame:  the Creator or the spoiler?

Indeed, a thought-provoking spillage, Ahavati.

Sincerely

Thank you, Cabcool. I very much appreciate the additional insight to this piece.

By design of the creator the spoiled falls and creates a new bringing fourth more good but if spoiled otherwise its ruined and tossed

A little sour makes you appreciate the sweetness you already have

For realz-  
but too much ruins the integrity of the grape itself.  

Thanks, Tim.

A true activist with compassion truely love this one

Thank you, Liam. Much appreciated.

Hi, Tim, and thanks. Yes; it is metaphoric for humans who waste so much time on spite and bitterness vs artful beauty and creativity.  

I like your avatar btw.

My interpretation is that you are perhaps pointing out that destructive qualities like jealousy, anger and resentment spoil the abundance ( joy, compassion, fulfilment)?

Thank you, Lozzamus.  That is a correct interpretation.

Small words big impactful meaning.

Thank you, ClearmindedVisforVillian.  Much appreciated.
