MAGIC


Magic,
It's a changing thing.
You hear it as the ocean sings.
You see it in a child's eyes,
Or as a cloud rolls across the sky.
You taste in your homemade cake,
Or in a pie you helped to make.
You smell it as the flowers grow,
Or as a candle dies, so slow.

Magic,
It can wear a mask.
Finding it can be a task,
But if you're lucky, like so few.
The magic is inside of you.

Tell me about, and I'm not gonna be modest and come right out and say it.

My poem is soooo much better than some of the ones in that magazine!

I don't write a poem unless it rhymes. I sooo hate poems that don't rhyme. No offense to those who like that kind of writing, but it just doesn't... roll off the tongue.

And thanks for the comments.

Lines 4 and 5 are slightly out of sync, they have 9 and 7 syllables, whereas all the others have 8, and this could be easily fixed, thus:

instead of

Quote:
 
Or as a cloud rolls across the sky.
You taste in your homemade cake,


put

Or as clouds roll across the sky.
You taste it in your homemade cake,

then it has exactly the same rhythm and flow as the other lines, the meaning is not changed in any significant way (one cloud becomes clouds) and it's grammatically correct.

Sorry to be picky, but IMO this would make it perfect (it is very good as it is).

Wow, thank you for that, I would never have noticed. I really enjoy the feedback I am getting and do agree with your suggestion.

glad I could help, especially when there's a simple solution :)

Though the image of a single cloud rolling across the sky is more powerful and emotive than of multiple clouds or clouds in general doing so, I hope it's not too big a loss :D

I really like it, it's really good.

And I agree,
I can't write a poem unless it's rhyming.
