The screen flickered and then he was gone…..

Caroline didn’t know what happened. One minute, a wonderful conversation with Richard, the next, poof! He vanished into thin air. All she saw was a light shining on an empty chair.

Richard planned it all along. He had been trying out new sets of magic tricks for his next show. What better time to test one then when talking to Caroline. Surely, she’d figure it out.

A sudden thump on the door brought him back to reality. Answering, he came face to face with the police. Had they discovered his true plan?

Selfie by Alyssa…who very nicely let me use it for my poem.

I solemnly swear, she said to me

That I am up to no good, this I can see

She gives me that coy little smile

Ok, she melts my heart for awhile

But I know what’s behind that grin

Thank goodness, she is not a twin

I wouldn’t know what to do

One is enough, imagine two!

And when she has you, in her spell

Her kind of magic, you can’t quell

The truth is, she is not a brat

But that really is her silly hat

Seems the t-shirt matches that

This girl does surely beguile

Let the Magic take Control ~ #poetry #fairies

Set light upon the new day, let the beauty flutter about

Watch as the mystery glows, be still, fairies never tout

Disguised as tiny butterflies, see their essence shimmer

They are one with nature, making our world glimmer

Rise up to their calling, as they sweetly soothe your soul

Set light upon the new day, let the magic take control

Complete the Task – #poetry – #MarchWriting – #dragons

Fly from me, sweet dragon, seek

Heed the words, I now, must speak

Find the kingdom, cross the land

Bring to me, the guarded strand

Kept close to she, the princess fair

You must catch her, unaware

Cast this spell, of sleep, upon her

O’er the knights, in forest yonder

Who think I am an ignorant fool

But I shall have their precious jewel

Complete this task, I set to thee

Bring back that which belongs to me

The piece that causes much vexation

For I never utter fruitless incantations

Though snowfall is surely part of winter’s frosty cold

It still brings with it a certain magic, we cannot quell

The iridescence of the light, is truly a sight to behold

When the sun reflects, creating a prismatic carousel
