Riddled with vices Allowed Even encouraged To brandish them with flare Perhaps that is the delight The pessimist Makes the world a happier place Because she can make mocking music of its terrors Brilliance in the dark Laughter in the silence Wit redemptive crowing over chaos A Phoenix rising from the ashes One detail in disaster laughter That is courage The courage to seep into another’s bloodstream seethed and tingling like Champagne

I find your poem very thought-eliciting, Deborah. I do like the way you express yourself via your verses. Do you mean "champagne" in the last verse or are you referring to the city and/or county of "Champaign?" Thank you once again for provoking thought. Love and peace to you,
