I saw a wizard cast a magic spell. Six dolphins jumped from the sea. He asked me kindly not to tell. They grew legs and danced with glee. They really danced quite well. He caught a wave in his hand, From one of the seven seas He turned it into a strip of land. On that island he put some trees, Also, tropical flowers quite grand. He then turned his attention to me. He suggested a gift, very expensive. And asked what I wanted to be. He stood looking very pensive. I answered emphatically “just me.”

It’s fun to let your imagination run free. We all love a bit of magic and it isn’t a frivolous as it seems when a profound realization materializes on the end line. Not an easy form but you nailed it. SuZ

Thank you Suz. I thought for more than a day. No inspiration came, so I wrote whatever came to mind. Sat back, read what I had written, and before I let myself delete it, I entered it into the contest. Glad you liked it. Thanks so much for letting me know. Best wishes my friend.

You struck it in one my friend, a poem when I had no idea what to write, so I just wrote. Que sera, sera . Thank you for your comment and intuition.

SV, I wondered where this was going and, well the message in your last line hit home. Nice one! I was interested in your comments to Soupers below and note that you had fun writing it and you wrote just what came to you. I really like that. Some of my own favourite poems Ive written are those that followed similar "non specific rules". That's what poetry is about. Cheers - Gary

Yes Gary, I agree, sometimes we just have to let our hair down, and write what ever comes. I am not a lover of fantasy. I avoid movies with fantasy themes and scoff at nonsense, So I was surprised to see myself writing this. Kinda like breaking the rules on purpose. Thanks for your terrific comment.

I just typed what ever came to me Jeanette, and I am not sure why I entered into a competition, but I did. It's a bit of nonsense but maybe I can call it whimsical. Yourself and a few others seem to like it which pleases me greatly. Thank you for letting me know that you liked it. I will follow your poems from now on. Thanks again

Yes dear Victor, my brain couldnt come up with a topic, so I just let it dictate a bit of fantacy. Sometimes we just have to throw reality to the wind and just have fun. Thank you for taking the time to read my little ditty and comment on it. Evey best wish.

The wondrous verses of your fictitious poetry, VS, overflow with splendid imagery and captivating metaphors. Your gentle words have bestowed a magnificent depth upon your prose.

I pondered a topic for this one dear friend and came up with nothing. So I decided to just have fun. What ever came to me, I typed. There is rhyme to it but no reason. Just a silly poem created when I was in a whimsical blurry brain mood. Compared to your masterpeices mine look like a child wrote them. I am happy that way. Writing mine and reading yours creates an equalibrium, between the sow's ear and the silk purse. As always thank you for your wonderful words.
