Baubles And Whim

Balloons are fashion statements on a day pass.
They soar beyond nirvanas in flash contour.
Pinprick of the shrewd  
savant easily deflates these tinsel metaphors of hope.
Distraction is a gaudy spectrum.
Colour wash for hazy minds reaching out to   galaxies that only end in cloud burst.

NB This is not an anti positivity poem.
Positivity is my principle. 
It’s about the worst wishful thinking.
