more wistful now than poignant
while whistling with the wind
dancing dapples of recollection and forgetfulness
serve only to stir whirling notions
blowing willowy wisps of patinaed pirouettes
intertwining and reverberating shimmer 
that no regret has any hope of obligating

N. B. here are two versions, the first and the redacted immediately following. Which do you like better? 
Please remember to indicate which version you prefer on the comment box. Thank you most kindly. Frederick.

Thank you kindly for your honest responses (Rudyard K., Stephen Gospage, and Nigel Astell). I too prefer version 1 and wrote version 2 at the suggestion of some well-meaning critics. Sighs.

No 1 wins for me, it reads better at least for me.
