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

"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Well done. I’ve never heard of a Dizain poem… may try one sometime.
This feels very "don't let the world bring you down and tell you that you can't dance on clouds in a top hat if you damn well please". An important message to us all to remain of whimsical mind.
You make me imagine Gene Kelly in dancing and singing in the rain, Well done!
I love this so uplifting ♦️🏆♦️
