Scroll down for my Poetry Friday post with a poem by Mary Cornish. But I want to add in a response to Tricia's POETRY STRETCH challenge (see The Miss Rumphius Effect) for this week: to write a personal ad written by an animal. I cheated - this is not written by an animal. But it is written by a magician and it involves an animal.
Magician's Assistant?
i saw u in half
price books, games
section, but no illusions:
my eyes threw knives
while u spun.
oh! i want
to pull you by the ears
out of my hat, honey-bunny,
make magic w/ me,
pls don't disappear again.

Julie,
ReplyDeleteI especially like the second half of your poem:
"no illusions:
my eyes threw knives
while u spun.
oh! i want
to pull you by the ears
out of my hat, honey-bunny,
make magic w/ me,
pls don't disappear again."
Such fun! It made me chuckle.
Hi Julie,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Elaine. I love the lines "make magic w/ me
pls don't disappear again."
I read it several times, and each time I enjoyed it more!
Julie, YOU make magic with your poems. I always like them a lot. So clever!
