Harvest

Straight lines
of stripped vines
pattern the hillside.
Leaves in fall colors,
all that's left after harvest,
fields bereft. Workers
make wine to last.


For Open Link Monday at Imaginary Gardens with Real Toads. Inspired what's happening in my little corner of the world and by Kerry's excellent post of Saturday on Tanka.

Grape Harvest

It's what's happening in my little corner of the world right now:

Vines that were laden with grapes. 

Like these beauties.

Are harvested by tractors rumbling through the fields.

For vintners to turn into our delicious local red wine, Montepulciano D'Abruzzo.

To delight our palates and hearts when shared with friends.

What's happening in your world?
