Natasha L Scragg Poet Rhyme

If I Could ---

If I could
Abracadabra! Allakizam!
I'd eradicate ALL illness
Crash! Boom! Bam!

I'd end depression
In only one session.
Away with sadness go!
Travel on the wind, moods low!

I would crinkle my nose,
Do a double blink,
Twirl, point my finger...
Change the way badn's think.

Bib. Bop. Ba. Boo!
Every leader too
Would see the futility
Of wars! One. Two. Three.

With a Zip. Zap. Zoom.
I'd fly on my broom
And rainbow dust the sky!
Joy would fill the hearts of all!
No despair would echo or call
That one worded, sorrowful chorus...
" Why? "

Oh yes I would!
My magic would
Be very good!
If I could...

Margarita Lillico March 17, 2022 at 7:35 AM Natasha, what an interesting entry! Poignant and humorous at the same time makes it so unique and endearing! Congrats! I wish we all could... M. Natasha L Scragg March 17, 2022 at 8:03 AM Hi Margarita, thank you so much for your encouragement. I feel that a dash of humour here and there can lighten the weight of the poignancy. It can be difficult to find the balance. But it's lovely to hear your appreciation of it in this case. Many warm wishes :-D
