Watching the sun-kissed vine
give birth to the grape
Carefully selected and prepped
Squashed into paste
to attain its life’s blood
Fermented and bottled
Every year a treasured vintage
The grape’s destiny fulfilled
Let’s raise our glass
in thankfulness
to the fertile ground
for this superior harvest
which yielded a masterpiece
of unblemished Cabernet Sauvignon
The ghost of the grape
looks on, envious of its new form
knowing it is more popular now
than it was on the vine

Batiste was born in Mesa, Arizona in 1979. She currently lives in
Buckeye, Arizona with her husband, Michael and her daughter Kaylee and
their four cats: Sketch, Pixel, Trace and Slim Shady. Writing stories
and poetry has been a lifelong passion for Desiree. She had her first
poem published in a small circulation newspaper for children at age 9
1/2, which only fueled her interest in writing. She has been diagnosed
with PTSD and several anxiety disorders as the result of her past
experiences. She continues with therapy on these issues, but writing has
always been very therapeutic for her and she hopes by sharing her poems
and stories, she will help others who are in similar life
circumstances.
