To be something
well defined,
or somebody with a name
to be remembered,
a name that surfaces on people mind
classified within their top ten early morning thoughts.
To meet with
a blue sky in contrast,
like magpies
in black and white certainty.
To have a distinct shape
of apple or pear not a hybrid
modified by years of slow adaptation.
To be a doodle
on Obama’s napkin
go a long way
be analysed thoroughly
kept for a “may be one day big money”
be given an opportunity to shine eventually
in "blues" and beige tonality.
Not an ordinary morning coffee doodle
disposed of by who ever happened to be in charge
of the "clearing table before lunch".
Would I be happier?
Spontaneity is the privilege
of the most unknown.

Author notes
Wrote spontaneously in 10 mns like an ordinary coffee morning napkin doodle.
I have just made a couple of editing after this.

Thank you so much.

I would suggest eliminating the "If only I was" that begins the first three stanzas and just launch right in with the images of
"something well defined...", "a blue sky...", "a doodle on Obama's napkin...". I like how you end on this strong thought on spontaneity.

I have done some editing not really sure how this is turning out...?
