Whimsical Wishes

Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Day 25

Whimsical wishes are wanting to win

Override sad ones always sneaking in

Chocolate and cookies, must be good foods

With everything else that improves your mood

Dancing on rain clouds, just white fluffy balls

Stomping your feet does you no good at all

Droll and serious forget all of that

Walk around proudly in your big top hat

Don't be pragmatic, or of solemn mind

Let yourself go, be a whimsical mind.

[Author's note: My first Dizain poem. Dizain poems are isometric and have ten stanzas each with ten syllables. Poets have to use the same number of syllables in each stanza and line for the poem to be called isometric. Traditional dizain poems have a defined rhyming scheme - ababbccdcd. This is different - aabbccddee- so it is not entirely traditional.]

Till next time,

Calvin
