A Touch of Whimsy

Steal a bottle of champagne
  Revel in the delight of heat
    A touch of whimsy --
      Of one’s reverie
        As if desirous to go anywhere
          Or somewhere in Africa 
            The point of no return
              A combination of anything
                In high glee or river of woe
                  Alas, either a thing or two
                    Won ‘t change anything
                      But a defining moment

Wow- Moon Flower -- excellent thoughts so cleverly expresses! To me, your poem flows so quickly and efficiently that it was over -- I was through it -- before I could realize it. Yet your words left their imprints and a good piece of advice to us all. Thanks for sharing such an all-around good piece of work! Byron
