VJs Weekly Challenge – Frivolous
“The willow which bends to the tempest often escapes better than the oak that resists it; and so in great calamities it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.” Albert Schweitzer
Feeling Frivoled The garish pumpkin thing screamed to be left on the shelf, serving no discernible purpose, having no possible place in the home among the refined china sculptures, but it was Thursday and it was, after all, spring, and the fever was high for change, for a whim of whimsy, besides, what would life be without a frivol, to matter not mattering, to draw one's sword or buy two pies kiss a random stranger or order caviar and just leave it, get a grotesque mascot for the dashboard, or a tennis racquet never to be used, I just might. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

I love the ‘just because’ theme of this poem. Deliciously frivolous and frothy.
