Spellbound, a-musing myself


I could grasp it ...
By Francis Scudellari

I could grasp it,
The nearest twig,
Not to/o long worn
Thin, snap it off;
Whittle it down
Smooth, to a point

I could seek out
Books of spells, casts
Of blessed chants;
Choose one, speak it
Slowly, linger
On cryptic words

I could wave her,
My new-fashioned
Wand, once around,
End where it starts,
Fix this, make all
A-new, at-one

Then un-tranced branch
Broken, I 'd reach
Others in can't;
Connect to be-
Witched, conned join; shake
Free real magic

Ciao Hanna,
Mille grazie, come sempre. An autograph?! Sure ... just let me know what you'd like me to sign and where to send it.

Wonderful. This is absolutely great. I love the idea of your poetry and drawings. Sorry for the absence. Life has a nasty habit of getting in the way. April is fast approaching :-)
You take care friend. I really like the direct you seem to be taking.

Ciao Francis!
Vuoi un meme bizzarro?
Fai anche un disegno bizzarro accanto?
kisses ;D

Thanks JD,

Congrats on the impending nuptials .. . that's pretty exciting and certainly a better way to spend your time :).

I'm not sure some folks will like the new direction, but it's what I feel like doing right now, so I'll risk those lost readers.

Maybe I'll split off into two separate blogs, we'll see.

Ciao Hanna,

I'm drawn to the bizarre, and can definitely produce some visual strangeness to accompany the post. Thanks for the tag!
