Riding the Unicorn

I ride that unicorn daydream a Crazy charmed life it must seem Money mongers say it’s nonsense You work on their side of the fence Maybe it is a mad dream theme Money faking peaches and cream You must follow your own sunbeam Writing is my only defense I ride that unicorn It may lead to a fountain stream Bait your hook and choose "Carpe Diem" Work life looks so stressful and tense Follow your passion it makes sense Hold on tight let it out and scream I ride that unicorn!

One of the more difficult forms written for this contest – one of my favorite forms. Love how you chose your idiom to be the repeated line within the context of the poem. Thank you for this creative effort. Congrats on your 5th place win in the Create an Idiom contest!
