Jet Set Excess
The glory days of love and wine
are all too soon undone
when Dionysus and the sun
to winter will resign.
Maybe they hole up somewhere nice
whereto the wine to mull
in a mug fashioned from a skull
and warmed up in a trice.
Could be they go to Tokyo
or maybe old Rangoon
where they observe a tropic moon
until it's time to go...
returning back up north again
or to some southern hills
where Aussies with some vineyard skills...
host Bacchus now and then 🍷

I LOVE the Autumn Equinox and this poem is beautiful. Something about Rangoon. . . I would LOVE to be at one of those Bacchus festivals! I enjoyed traveling to different cultures throughout these lines.

I didn't even think about the equinox until after I posted, but now I like it all the more.
I guess I'm just in a cosmopolitan mood 💞

Sometimes the energy is subconscious! I totally thought this was related to the global Equinox celebrations!

I love the equinox too, but I've had a devil of a time keeping track of the days lately 🥴

Some of the best wine in the world is grown in the state I live in Aus. Penfolds is a 10 minute drive from me.

I'm an Argentinian Malbec person myself. However, if you Aussies produce any worth tasting I'll give it a go.

I've occasionally had some Aussie wines, but didn't see the name Penfolds.
I had some merlot labeled "Yellowtail" with a picture of a roo on it.
Cheers 🍷

Honestly, I have no idea. We do have unions but you don't have to join (I think it's meant to better if you do, but i don't know). Is that a preference?

We have all kinds of brands it's pretty cheap too like $5 a bottle I think that's current year wine might be more depending. I don't know much about wine to be honest though.
Cheers to you.
Cheers to you.

A preference, but not one to undermine the quest for satisfactory flavor...

Cool. Hope you enjoy.
If you can try and find one from South Australia too, ours is better. (There's a dumb rivalry between S.A. and Victoria)

South Australia's a state and Victoria's a state.
Adelaide is the capital of S.A. and Melbourne is the capital of Victoria.

Dear PS,
Where can I get a ticket to these lovely places? I’ll be there asap. And please make sure that pour of wine isn’t stingy. 😊
As per. I loved the meter and rhyme and story within the write. Happy Autumn. H🌷

I used to be a beer drinker, but wine has me imbibe at a slower rate.
You must have deep pockets for tickets.
I need a map for Rangoon 😊

Not sure why I thought of Rush's Hemispheres, maybe was the mention of Dionysus,
Either way, drink up and enjoy.
