Question

Do you believe in magic? Please cast a spell/comment on this poem?

Answer 1

I wonder if it's magic

or just slight of hand

that causes me to stand

before 3 shifting shells

not knowing under which

is hidden the Pea,

often I feel it a travesty

or maybe it's all so tragic

that we succumb?



Speaking metaphorically.



Good write Oak.

Answer 2

I believe in magic.



I believe there is a magic

woven into hearts of any age.

It draws us to its bosom

each time we turn the page

to a new chapter in life;

invites our entry into a larger world.

That pure light of discovery is magic,

it stretches out toward the heavens

with an open mind and

connects us to God's universal magic

in us all.

Answer 3

There seems to be whine in my lines right now and my keys are sticky, not from something that once was delicious, they just stick to be difficult. I should get a new keyboard and maybe that will change my insight and I will once again write. You are the enchanting poet and I am thankful for your magic!

Answer 4

I cannot transliterate Swahili words on this keyboard. There is no key for the clicking sound.

Answer 5

Take a card, any card

Look at it, don't tell me what you see

Put it back, in the stack

Your card, an Ace of Hearts it be

That's darn good. I think maybe without a battery or an electrical outlet you would be in trouble hahahahah. But then a pad with pencil will do the same.

Answer 10

Mage Camp



Three million words on newsprint

For good or ill to the cast of players.

Stories of low adventure

Summoned from a mirror

And high ideals taken from a dream.

Songs of friends long dead,

Foes dead sooner still,

And friends lingering in woe.

Poems of what has been,

What might have been,

And what may still come to pass.

Prose to solve the mystery

Of what builds a self

Over long changing years,

And a double handful of fairy dust.



*One good spell deserves another. Thanks for the inspiration and the secret to the magic encoder board.*

Answer 11

If you believe in it, you can play at casting spells and so forth, but the reality is that any seeming results are entirely due to coincidence. Judeo-Christian religions have actively discouraged believing in magic because it can so easily be mistaken for the effectiveness of prayer, or the intervention of God in human lives. You could do some preliminary research via Google. Mention Wikipedia when formulating your query -- they have pretty good articles on many topics. The knee-jerk reaction of your CCD teacher will probably be "Stop it! It's a sin! Read what the Bible says about messing with magic!" You could seek a second opinion from a priest. Many religious people truly think that believing in and trying out magic opens a door to evil spirits that are all too ready to take over your mind and your will. It's fun to read stories like the Harry Potter series, but one has to realize that they are just interesting fiction. If you study the history of the Middle Ages, you will be astounded at the idiotic superstitions that prevailed in those times. For example, elderly women who lived alone and kept pets were routinely blamed for poor crops, accidents to farm animals, and human illnesses, and were denounced as witches. Contemporary magic shows are based on clever illusions devised by professional magicians. It's amusing to get a book out of the library to see how some of these tricks are done. An ordinary person from two centuries ago would be amazed at radio, TV, recorded music, telephones, and space travel. Here's my favorite quote on the subject: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -- Arthur C. Clarke

Answer 12

I’ve lost my voice, can’t cast a spell

To tell you I agree

for I’ve transformed, once a rebel

Reading your poetry.



What every word, these magic words

Made me cry, laugh or smile

Why the words of books aren’t heard

‘til in a verse compiled.



You enchant with your presence Oak

You fix our days and moods

The spell I cast becomes a joke

And therefore I conclude



You are for sure the Potter here

A delight since you first appeared.

Answer 13

What an interesting write to get things going. I really liked it.

I have one problem, though....

My laptop is an older Dell and I have literally worn off all those simple symbols upon the squares.

Good thing I'm a touch typist, or I guess I'd be silenced, eh?
