This is a work of fiction in which I needed to use five specific words given by the sponsor in just five lines of a poem. I never had a honeymoon at all, and I am married 44 years later!

Once upon a time, we traveled around Europe very far.
It was our honeymoon, and on a train
inside the comfort of our room in the sleeping car,
you popped the cork and toasted to everlasting love with our champagne.
Long years we tried to make it work, but now alone I travel (and by plane).

(I chose English Quintain style because it allows you to use any number of syllables you like per line while sticking to a/b/a/b/b rhyme scheme.)
