Abracadabra
Nearby a door of green I stood one day.
I wanted that door to open for me.
“Abracadabra” in the wind echoed.
That magical word I was led to say.
Leprechauns emerged. “Tis March,” they exclaimed.
“Great pranks on people we are here to play!”
You can blame me if leprechauns appear.
Just tell them that they have to go away
if it happens that leprechauns you see.
In the wind echoed “Abracadabra.”
By April those tricksters had gone away!

for William Kekaula's Abracadabra March Magic Poetry Contest
(Used HMS for ten syllables per line - revised shortly after posting)
Note made by William Kekaula: The Abracadabra poetic format is an adaptation I had created from Magic Nine. . . The syllable count is your choice but must be the same for all eleven lines. abRacadabRa is the rhyme scheme, and the lines with the R's are reversed lines. All lines must be rhyming with the exception of lines 'c', and, 'd'.
