Vocal vantage

Venture into a vibrant venue
with a vision,
vivacious virtuoso with vodka and Van-Van Punch
among a variety of visitors and VIPs.
A vacation vibe.

Variations of vignettes of victuals,
yet volumes of vegetables and vermicelli.

Like vagabonds on a voyage,
visualizing vast vistas,
vigilant for views of villages and valleys.

Voice vibrating in the void,
in the volcanic vacuum of
a vocabulary of vowels and verbs,
and vice versa.

Voting for vulnerable, for victims,
valiant, but vividly vague,
vertigo of visuals.

Vacating the venue,
valedictory vamoose!
Verdict: verified.
