One Single Impression #128 ~ Connoisseur
~
To be a connoisseur
One must
Recognise
Appreciate and
Understand
The piquant
Enigmatic beauty of
Subtle
Precious
Peaks of
Quality
The connoisseur is
The keeper of secret knowledge
The omniscient judge in a courtroom
The royal taste in
A field of common wheat
To the down-to-earth cynics
The connoisseur is merely
The aloof dialect in a
Herd of colloqialisms
But sometimes
The connoisseur is
The humble critter who treasures
The worm in the bud
Hosted by Andrée and SandyCarlson

Your words describe it so well. I like this! I also like the idea that the sparrow is a connoisseur of fine worms. Very nice.
Impressed by your honest reality !

The royal taste
in a common field of wheat
