         Who would not

Who would not in spicy chancy,
Phantom in a dreamers fancy,
Steer a ship beneath the sun,
Set a heading, just for fun?

Who would not deny all question
Drink the nights intoxication?
Play a simple hollow tune.
Sing of love unto the moon?

Who would not throw cares away?
To happen on another day?
Perhaps redo the day before?
And do the things you do no more.

Who would not trade a true?
For something that they could not do?
Drive a road, ride a tide?
Be a bridegroom, be a bride?

Sail upon a shooting star,
Care not who or where you are?

This has captured my imagination truly, Sy.
I was thinking along these lines just the other day...

Wonderful!

I, for one, would not
(unless by phantom plot) hehe
And a lovely poem is what you've got

Severn,
We all think this way sometimes
Weather we do or not is another story.
Elizabeth,
The he he slipped,
between the line.
And that to me is fine.
Thank you.

Sy,
I feel I have to add hehe's to everything because people don't realize that most of the time I'm joking, and so a lot of times I'm misunderstood. Glad you understand

If there be a flight of fancy
aboard shall be
One poet called Nancy.....

I welcome you one and all,
The boat leaves in the fall.
