When I think of magic, I think of your tricks
And the deck of cards in your pocket
How you came to me and asked for my name
Showing me an old trick, you were classic
“Pick a card, any card, any card at all”
That’s what you said and I did as told
Little did I know, I’ll be your Queen of Hearts
When I picked the Ace of Diamond
But like all tricks, yours was a ploy
A joke. A prank. A caper
For I never saw what was under your sleeves
Until you broke me to pieces
52 cards, 52 weeks—
That’s a year if you were counting
When you turned that diamond into a ring
You were Jack of all trades, I should have seen.
In response to Writing 101: Poetry
Day 1: Magic
The first prompt of the course is out, courtesy of @laduchessederat. It invites you to write a poem involving magic, whatever your take on the magical might be.
I wanted to write something light and jolly but, yeah, madness happens. I enjoyed this bitter piece though. 😉
