Tribute poem, of youth and its vanishing joys.....
O' Once I Knew, Taste Of Tennessee Whiskey
As I sat there drinking my fine whiskey
Right there, hiding in my Tennessee hills
And when she, my love, gets so frisky
I just die in our sweet sensual thrills!
O' once I knew, taste of Tennessee whiskey.
Pure sweet thrill of my lover getting frisky.
Those soft-touch nights of love in our heaven
Love-words and promises of forever
Watching the bright moon at stroke of eleven
We both swearing to be apart - never!
O' please give me, taste of Tennessee whiskey.
That sweet thrill of my lover getting frisky.
And our days living in that gold sunshine
She and I both in love with our living
I in love with my angel, being mine
We together in passionate giving!
O' once I knew, taste of Tennessee whiskey.
Sweetest thrill of my lover getting frisky.
As I sat there drinking my fine whiskey
Right there, hiding in my Tennessee hills
And when she, my love, gets so frisky
I just die in our sweet sensual thrills!
O' once I knew, taste of Tennessee whiskey.
Pure sweet thrill of my lover getting frisky.

Lyric
( And in youth, the fever held sway )
In tribute to Chris Stapleton's song-
"Tennessee Whiskey" and the youth
that has now fled away from this
old and too oft quite weary soul….
This new poem mates quite well with my previously composed
poem titled, " Resting In These Tennessee Hills " composed back
in 2017.. One speaks of past youth, and the other of the here
and the now of old age and a new life born.

Resting In These Tennessee Hills
Lazy mornings in these Tennessee hills
Horned owl in tree behind house hoots all night
Sometimes annoys but often gifts a thrill
As country-fired moon sends us brighter light!
Mellow breeze, waltz morn rays with soft touch
Tall trees wrapping such gentle slopping yards
Often this beauty just seems way too much
Never knew this blessing was in the cards!
How was this treasure hidden from my view
Clear streams flowing with splashing fish each Spring
I FEEL IN MY HEART PAYMENT IS OVERDUE
IF I HAD A FIDDLE I WOULD PLAY AND SING!
Famous mountains are near but just out of sight
I've seen not but some day's visit I just might!

For Silent One contest: "Sonnet about where you live."
I live in beautiful Tennessee hills.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Map of East Tennessee counties.png
East Tennessee comprises approximately the eastern third of the U.S. state of Tennessee, one of the three Grand Divisions of Tennessee defined in state law. East Tennessee consists of 33 counties, 30 located within the Eastern Time Zone and three counties in the Central Time Zone, namely Bledsoe, Cumberland, and Marion.[1] East Tennessee is entirely located within the Appalachian Mountains, although the landforms range from densely forested 6,000-foot (1,800 m) mountains to broad river valleys. The region contains the major cities of Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tennessee's third and fourth largest cities, respectively.
East Tennessee is both geographically and culturally part of Appalachia, and has been included— along with Western North Carolina, North Georgia, Eastern Kentucky, Southwest Virginia, and the state of West Virginia— in every major definition of the Appalachian region since the early 20th century.[2] East Tennessee is home to the nation's most visited national park— the Great Smoky Mountains National Park— and hundreds of smaller recreational areas. East Tennessee is often called the birthplace of country music, due largely to the 1927 Victor recording sessions in Bristol, and throughout the 20th and 21st centuries has produced a steady stream of musicians of national and international fame.[3] Oak Ridge was the site of the world's first successful uranium enrichment operations which paved the way for the atomic age.[4] The Tennessee Valley Authority, created to spur economic development and help modernize the region's economy and society, has its administrative operations headquartered in Knoxville and its power operations headquartered in Chattanooga.
