Opal Spells

Her allure blooms in musty shops Held on silver bands of celtic lores A foretelling of ancient paths... Of twilight-caught scarlet raindrops Of visions gleaned through fateful doors Of spells whispered to Welsh hilltops A mystic gem on Wiccan staff My opal of demure witchcraft 5/15/19

oooooeee! My Welsh daughter, Rhiannon, also noticed your opal_spells_1144477 reference number, so perhaps someone should toe the Line? Aloha! Rico

This is such a favorite for me especially this part: "A mystic gem on Wiccan staff My opal of demure witchcraft...." Poor Line having to judge this one!

Thanks, Caren (it was the Wiccan line in your poem that got me on that track -)

OMG...I don't know how Line will be able to judge this contest. Every entry I read seems better than the next. I simply loved this Michelle! It gave me chills. I hope it is a top winner! ; ) xxoo
