Bonjour Spring Magic


poetry jam



the whole place
is magic
full of
dark magic
magie noire
smiles that light
up the sky
and eyes

eyes
that burn
with desire
gentle laughter
silk flutes rippling
through sunshine

magic that wraps
tight like a coil
until you can't breathe
and then
splits open
like a ripe pod
into a million
star fragments

magic
is magic
and
it's
everywhere

    It IS everywhere! A dewy cobweb on a bush! Clouds! Loved your poem and cool video.

    Yes magic is everywhere. Several images caught my attention, including silk flutes rippling. Very nice.

    'Magic is magic'... can there be a better explanation :)

    My favourite lines -
    magic that wraps
    tight like a coil
    until you can't breathe
    and then
    splits open
    like a ripe pod
    into a million
    star fragments

    Lovely!

    Love this! That visual of the pod ripping open into star fragments was really inspired...dare I say magical? :-)

    The third stanza is so visceral. Well written.

    the words in this poem and how it is structured is already magic. :)
    thanks for sharing the video, pretty avarde-garde.

    this reads like a one night in a bar or festival or something. i can relate to its admiration of the "different." or the artistic!

    Beautiful poem, Rall. If we open our eyes and unstop our ears we shall appreciate the everyday magic that we so often ignore.
