The Sweet Taste Of Success

Feeling distinctively unique

After being

On the receiving end of winning streak

Having more money

Than you expected

At the end of the week

While passing life's

Ongoing morality tests

Daily & Mentally

As we forever seek

Gratification for a need

To be C.E.O.

Over our desire to comply

With why

Our gifted lives

Are obsessed with extravagant

Monetary excess is

The morale boosting access pass

Into the V.I.P. Club Section

Of a rhetorical movement

Waiting to be seated

Is you

At your designated table

Where every personal

Engraved champagne glass

Remains the best

Key signature symbol defined as

The Sweet Taste Of Success

success tastes different to us all, and yet you've penned a great personification of it.

Success can destroy some people. They get greedy and forget about who got them there or who supported them through the rough times but then again, it's a great thing. This is a great write, I agree with what, Sarah said.

Interesting piece... Success is measured in happiness, as Quin so aptly put it, however, it would be foolish to say that having a certain amount of monetary comfort (a safety net, if you will) does not help with the happiness aspect of things. I like the moral of this piece, though, because there are those who strive not for comfort, but for excess...like all of those terrible television shows where people are purchasing $15,000 wedding dresses and $60,000 cars for their sixteen year old children. Thing like that make my stomach turn. Give me a comfortable life out of the lime-light where I can enjoy the things that really matter over that crap any day of the week. Nicely written...every the writer of morality, my friend!

success is measured by happiness in my opinion. money is misery waiting to enable you. but i like the poem.

Success is when you are happy with your life...I don't think materialistic things make one happy if they
are unhappy in other aspects of their lives...nicely one BP

How do we define success? Is it the cash and champagne? I think there is more success in passing those morality tests. I like the theme here, BP - got me thinking.
