Notes About The Poem

a Sizzle and a Spark

perception sees beyond reality
interprets to the best of its ability

optimism keeps fire burning in one’s heart
while pessimism gleefully tears everything apart

instead of being boggled with the mundane
romance fills our days with wonder and champagne

a dusting of fantasy does wonders to cast a spell
kicks life up a notch and that’s no bagatelle
