MAGICAL THINKING/ Poetry Potluck #15


This week's Poetry Potluck #15 is based on Reflections, Interpretations, and Musings.  Perfect for the end of the year...I put all three into a bowl and came up with...


MAGICAL THINKING

I want magic to be actual,
the rabbit to be bona fide,
not a velvet glove with furry ears,
when the magician says voila!

I know that martyrs such as I
must be pierced by arrows
before we become saints.
I only ask for a helping hand
to get up to cloud nine.

I want St. Jude
to count the days
of my novena with me,

not shilly-shally around,
but grant my prayer
as soon as he knows
that I need to be saved.

I myself will not take
the job of sainthood lightly.

Patience--it's so hard. Love the line about the arrows. And good luck with convincing Saint Jude. Nice one, Lyn. I enjoyed it very much.

Yeah, what's with the shilly-shallying of saints? - Get with the program, I say :) ... Glad you're planning to take the job more seriously.

Your halo is on tight I think. You know what you want and know St. Jude is listening. Good poem.
