Brian Johnston Poet Rhyme

Flavor Enhancers

What are the things that add Zest to your life,
What moves your heart into Joy,
What kind of remedy mollifies Strife,
What dials you back from Annoy?

Who can you count on to come to your Aid,
Who guides your path on the Way,
Who gives permission to drop bad Crusade,
Who tells you line is Cliché?

Where do you go to find Peace from the noise
Where’s the Love worth looking for,
Where the life lessons that elevate Poise
Where’s Friend who’s not metaphor?

Flavor enhancers do truly Exist
If you would find Happiness
Openness also should grace any list
Always just follow your Bliss.

Caroline Cécile Delacroix April 3, 2016 at 12:11 AM lots of questions to make one think and reflect. Didn't understand all of the questions such as, who gives permission to drop bad Crusade, and where's Friend who's not metaphor? The poem doesn't really enlight on what is it you mean by Flavor enhancers. I feel like you could sort of "flavor" the poem a bit more, but you surely got it rhymed right. :)
