Wow, I could barely even find this.
Actually wrote this about a week ago for the poetry competition, but I felt bad that I was letting this die. SoooOoooOoooOoo.
Also, I'm trying to write a silly novel, and if anyone has any tips for the organizational process that happens before....they would be appreciated.
If Shooting Stars Still Worked
I wish that top hats still held magic,
And that making coins disappear
Still was a mysterious force unknown.
I wish I still believed in dragons,
As I waited to ride one far from here,
Flying over cliffs with jagged stones.
I even wish I still had my toy wand,
Collapsing with a twist of my hand,
As I, the magician, made it vanish from sight,
Arguing that it wasn't at all a trick of the light.
I remember reading my countless books,
Filled up with so many mystical lands,
As I walled myself up in my guarded room.
Though I knew the stories weren't real,
I pretended I held the spells in my hand,
To rescue Ron or Roran from the jaws of doom.
When magic turned to science I don't remember,
But I grew older and smarter with each November,
Until magic disappeared fully from my daily life,
Leaving me without a shield to face sorrow and strife.
Maybe someday I'll find magic again,
And with a simple spell of sorts
I can go back to when unicorns roamed free,
And when I could journey to far Hogwarts
To avoid cleaning my book-filled room.
