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

Interesting train of thoughts here ... makes me contemplate how the small things in life can account for the biggest turning points. Cool title, too ... thanks for the read. Check out my blog, if you ever get the chance, and tell me about your poem :)
