Where's The Gra / Ra Rah Rape-Gr- : 6 Morning Poems Inspired By The Disappearing Grape In Wines Today, In My Humble Opinion

Here are my six morning Poems that I wrote earlier today ( it's now 11:12 PM on ), Wednesday August 26th, 2009 both while in Virginia and then later in Washington D.C. before my work. I hope you like them. They are inspired by my humble belief after almost thirty years that the wine grape has in some cases become secondary and almost obsolete in the taste of the wine. It has been sacrificed, chopped away at, narrowed, pushed away, off to the side, off the stage so to speak. Now it picks itself up off the floor and shakes away the dust and wonders to itself what just happened?!? Did it say or do something that it was not supposed to? When did the rules change? And how come there was no notice before they changed?!?
