There Is Magic In Poetry

There is magic in poetry
The way a poet’s wrist twists with a flair
There is magic also in the air
Writing tool used like a threaded spool
Amidst the midnight blue
That’s what we do in school
There is magic in poetry
Spinning thoughts like cobweb
Expressed in words of rhyme 
Provocation of rhythm
All on a piece of birch wood paper
Writing while twirling one’s hair
There is magic in poetry

Besma Riabi Dziri November 16, 2019 at 1:30 AM Yes there's magic in poetry! And the poet is ever spelled by its wonders! The poet's word is not a mere voice echoed in the hearts of avid readers.. it is a sword that carves acts of valour.. it is a wand that turns everything into an unreachable Beauty! A great pleasure to read your poetry, Rukhsana.. Regards and blessings.
