For today’s prompt, write a magic poem. The world is filled with magic for those who are open to seeing it. Sure, some of it is trickery and sleight of hand, but there’s also a magic to everyday moments and situations, certain notes in favorite songs, even mistakes that end up being so perfect that artists can only claim magic. I hope every poet can conjure up a bit of magic with this week’s prompt.

Here’s my attempt at a Magic Poem:
“magic time”
while one hand snaps its fingers
the other grabs a coin from a pocket
before producing it “from thin air”
& many are moved but not you
because you know all my little tricks
& how i conjure empty incantations
no matter how many rabbits i pull
from hats & assistants i saw in half
the only magic that works is my time
