Notes About The Poem

Written 24th February 2025

Magical Carpet Journey Poetry Contest- Sponsored by: Constance La France 

 

A Magical Carpet Journey

I hold three magic rocks within my hand As I am standing upon golden sand Rolling them over and over again Leaving reality for somewhere strange.
.
I find I’m on a magic carpet ride Over earth and sea, joy I cannot hide I’m so lucky to have a bird’s eye view Look up and perhaps you will see me too. There are snow capped mountains far down below Glistening in luxurious sun glow A sight captivating, perfectly grand Only seen in movies of fairy land. The carpet flies me over a rainbow A most spectacular colourful show Bluebirds pass bye with a wink and a song It makes me feel that in sky I belong. It's getting dark here in airspace tonight Yet below the world is glimmering bright With light from windows, lamplights on the streets Whilst the earthlings get precious well earned sleep. I’ve sure had fun since the magic begun But now sadly for me, the end has come Have woken up to find at home I am Back to where my amazing dream began. What a journey I had, what a surprise Couldn’t believe what came before my eyes Still in my hand are the three magic rocks Will keep them stored safe, in my treasure box.

Beryl...ahh a flying dream! They don't happen that often, but they are a rare treat indeed. After reading this today, I can only hope to fly tonight and emulate the feeling you describe. If not, I'll just have to satisfy myself with the amazing things that happen every day! Smiles!!

Such a sweet tale full of imagination and a child like joy of magic and fancy. I'd read this to my child as a bedtime story! Congratulations! Xo
