Well this is my last post for today (used my quota 2 per day..lol) It is another challange from Hoot. If poetry were magic What a wizard I would be Showing such amazing sights For all the world to see I'd fly us all around the world Indulge in every pleasure There'd not be need for anything For we'd find burried treasure I would do tricks to amaze And fill you with delight And when your all alone in bed I'd fill up every night :0 When the razzle dazzle wears A little bit too thin I'd conjure up a cottage And let our life begin Cause, if poetry were magic It's only use would be To give you everything you wish And through it set you free |

If poetry were magic I'd use my magic wand To take you to that special land Past Heaven and beyond. If poetry were magic I'd say a magic phrase Designed to fill you with contentment In so many ways. If poetry were magic I'd make pain disappear I'd place a smile on your sweet lips To last throughout the year. And poetry IS magic!!! Come join me on the page. Our act will last forever and The world will be our stage. |

And Balladeer definitely has a little "wand"...LOL If poetry were magic, Even I could write, A poem that made a little sense, And even I would look quite bright. If poetry were magic, I'd simply snap my fingers, And zap old Balladeer some way, And hit him with some zingers. If poetry were magic, I'd still not be Harry Houdini, I'd find a way to screw it up, And Nan would make it vanish completely. AbbraCaddabra, a simple verse, Like a rabbit out of the hat, I'd find a way to make it worse, Not even magic can change that! It would take much more than magic, To make a poet of me, But ya always get what ya pay for, And my BS is always free. [This message has been edited by Toerag (edited 01-22-2000).] |

 You're A Poet ! You're A Poet ! You're A Poet ! What enchanting ~Magic~ is ours that fairly dance across the page. If poetry were magic it would be plain to see ... that some of it has rubbed off on me ! Zapped, by the ~Mystic Muse Of Rhyme~ I find myself magically metamorphosed into a fluttering poet this time. If poetry were magic ? We've all seen the Wizard's wand. For upon these pages the ~MAGIC~ has been done. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

If poetry were magic Down deep in caves of see where dreams are made I’d be a maker of all dreams come true my voice, more then words that say would sore with angel’s wings and breeze the poor with much to eat If poetry were magic. I’d see the season’s change just as real as they are now but without the summer haze of stinging smog or winter’s hearth not emptied, filled with fresh cut fragrant warmth from trees that grow right back into the regal beauty true that they embraced before if poetry were magic. Id take your hand that’s cold as ice and with mine like a glove restore the flow that good health brings and thus because two hands are grace they’d bring such love to this same place that before was only lonely if poetry were magic. If poetry were magic then each of us would be set free to roam the pages of the world and graze in art and dance in love in café’s sip from honeyed tea and sail the wind kept at the place where swift time stills in revered grace and blossoms would forever give-off fragrance into rooms of time. If poetry were magic then I could rhyme. |

Myrilyn, But poetry is a magic, It changes all the tragic. It lets you fly within the sky, It changes all the wheres and whys. It gives you all the magic powers and the wisdom of the flowers. Loved you poem. |

I've got an invitation, For the poets of this place. To write with inspiration, With such style and such grace. If poetry were magic? But it is the "dear" one says! Show us all your magic, Fill up our nights and days. Join us here upon this page, With meter and with rhyme. The whole world is our stage, Come help me keep the thyme. To all who replied: I am so very pleased that this could inspire such reponses. Keep the verses coming for my soul flies with your words. Toe: You need no magic to weave a spell on us here.

Poetry is magic Found on the intermet Where else can you meet The folks like I've met? Poetry is magic Each writer has the key To take me to places I'd otherwise never see Poetry is magic It's the tie that binds Us all as a "family" As we read each others lines |

Bewitching fetch of poetry bespelled me on this day It cast about such wizard words devined in me its fray If poetry were magic, oh! his words would conjure so! traverse me oft to latitudes lovely, and lands I'd gasp to go Would my poets' pen were magic wand 'twould be my mystic's rune that he, underspelled in sorcer's sleight, come share this midnight's moon And enter, quiet, my darkened rooms steal soundlessly to my side, seducing silent incanting charm and to his poetry lover confide Loved your bewitching poem, Marilyn!

There is magic in poetry...only it's more subtle than we'd like to think. It can't perform instant miracles...so we need only bide our time and await the end of the spell! |
