For A Magical Journey Contest by Constance La France

I hold three magic rocks, in my hand Rolling them over and over and over Leaving this reality behind, far behind Prompt by Constance La France Mirages aplenty, wow the haze is clearing All I've ever dreamt of or perhaps was always fearing Guns N' Roses, hollering and calling me over I'm sorry boys, I'm currently stone cold sober Can I have a Guinness? Mesmerizingly dark Anything really but in that ballpark Look I'm no groupie, they want me for my chops Jeez they won't stop asking, look, I'll play one, tops Oi Slash, may I borrow your top hat? Usurp you? Don't worry your curly little head about that Right, here we go - chord C when I say when No one ever anticipates opening bars of Old Michael Finnegan Encore sweet encore, to that amen Yes, alright then: let's begin again

Thank you Paula - haha I'll put your name down for any hot off the press news about my tour dates! Acrostics are great, like a hint on what to write for each line by giving you a first letter :)

Dear dd, seriously one can see your sense of humor through this acrostic! I smiled when I read “ Oi Slash, may I borrow your top hat? Usurp you? Don't worry your curly little head about that” haha! Omg this is fun and so good! And different too! I absolutely loved reading this one! You are really a versatile poet! This shows that! Best wishes

Haha I decided to try and do all the contests (still a few left) and don't want to write the same poem over and over. Acrostics sometimes lead in funny directions. I'd mentioned in reply to David on my oil and water poem that I could play Old Michael Finnegan on the guitar, I guess that stuck in my head lol

I see you are a groupie. a cool fantasy to sing with one's fave rock group or any other singer!! So creative.

Thanks Andrea, I found this a tricky prompt and then suddenly flew with a daft idea haha I've seen Guns N Roses and I think their crowd would eat me alive lol. Thanks for your kind supportive words, appreciated x

Looks like the mood didn’t pass already, and spilled over into your magical acrostic, borrowing Slash’s top hat, probably need an operation to get it off lol! the opening chords to old Michael Finnegan on repeat, (I’ve created a monster) another fun one from you, A ballpark Guinness hell why not, loving the humour! cheers David

Thanks David :) I'm already picking outfits at this point - I'm convinced it's what the world has been waiting for. Maybe I'll have my quota of 3 pints of Guinness before taking to the stage though, just in case it's not the runaway success I'm imagining :)
