Thank you, Linda. No, I found the photo on the web somewhere, didn't have name the photographer, just one of those lots of photos sites. Thanks for your kind comments, Linda. Warmest regards, Marijke :o)

Hi Marijke! I love this even tho I don't like cheese. It reminds me that I need to get well and take a break from stress. I wish I could live a life of wine and roses if even just for a short while. ! :) Lovely poem!! x

Yum! You've made me salivate--it's time for dinner!! I liked the way you managed to include alliteration in this tiny form and portray the good life in your words and the picture you selected. Best wishes in the contest. Smiles- Joan

Lucky I am no lactose intolerant, as I am a bit of a cheese-a-holic! Thanks for your generous review. Warmest regards, Marijke :o)

Hi Marijke!
You have my vote for champagne and cheese! :) This poem is sparing on syllables but certainly paints a picture of the good life (I might want to add chocolate to the list, too! lol but that's just me) Love it!
Good luck in the contest.

Mmmm... me too. But only allowed 2/4/2 syllables - and cheese just wins out for me over the chocolate - especially with champagne! Thanks for your generous review. Warmest regards, Marijke :o)
Comment from Douglas Paul
I would probably rather have wine, but the thought is a good one LOL. Life is good when we can kick back and enjoy those relaxing moments. Have a good day,Marijke

Hi Douglas, I started with red wine (my preference) but when I get together with some of my friends, they prefer champagne - especially when the cork pops! red wine / champagne / white wine - all 2 syllables, but the champagne won out today! Thanks for your kind review. Warmest regards, Marijke :o)
Comment from Chris Walker

Hi Chris. Yep... nothing like some nice bubbly - although I am very partial to red wine, but with cheese on a warm afternoon, a nice cold champagne will do just fine! Thanks for your generous review. Warmest regards, Marijke :o)
