Michelle Faulkner Poet Rhyme

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

Caren Krutsinger May 15, 2019 at 11:32 PM 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! Michelle Faulkner May 16, 2019 at 11:31 AM Thanks, Caren (it was the Wiccan line in your poem that got me on that track -)

Connie Marcum Wong May 15, 2019 at 5:35 PM 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 Michelle Faulkner May 15, 2019 at 11:18 PM Thank you for such a 'bewitching' comment, Connie!
