Magic

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Do you Believe in Magic?.” You have been transformed into a mystical being who has the ability to do magic. Describe your new abilities in detail. How will you use your new skills?

Go here for my poem about magic. I’ll do another, this is just an appetizer:

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Isn’t Your Face Red.”–When was the last time you were embarrassed? How do you react to embarrassment?

I have so recently written to the above prompt that I’m choosing this alternative prompt to write a “charm” poem. This was an assignment from NaPoWriMo before I started answering the WordPress Daily Prompt, so it is fresh to the WordPress prompt site.   As far as I can tell, this was written so long ago that only Tamara, Ann and forgottenman read it so perhaps they’ll humor me and let me present it again:Go HERE to see it.

The Magician: NaPoWriMo 2015, Day 23

The Prompt for NaPoWriMo was to choose a card & write a poem about it that applied to my life.  I chose to select a Tarot card at random. What came up was the Magician:

The Magician

Through what I choose and where I give in,
I create the world I live in.
If I’m a trickster, I trick myself
and lay my talents on a shelf.
Seize control and I gain the world,
all my inner self unfurled.
Magic’s not a thing without
or a thing to sell or flout.
It’s simply using the strength within
to play the game of life and win.
