Happiness?

it takes a mind to write a poem
sometimes more than one

searching for hours,

looking for accolades, from maybe another time

a pat on the back, things will be fine

nothing looks better now

than

that

bottle 

of 

wine.

As accolades can lay you in the shade, or say you've made the grade. By which many sometimes fade, as laid in the shade. Smile! Great thought in your poem, Ryan. Thanks for comment. Welcome to soup. Sincerely, Moses

Nice write there, great ending. To find accolades we must give them in return! Luv, andrea
