My 1st ‘Magic 9’ poem
Might abacadaba be a charm, Or perhaps potent poetic hex? Would that it could guard from harm, Its very form a counter-curse spell! What guides forth poet's tired arm? His mind, or weird magic force? Could such rhymes barbarian disarm, Or vile sorcerer's intentions vex? ... Well, should I vanish, please raise the alarm!
A weird magic force I think…all of it. I once had an idea to keep trying different poetic forms, but I like that you are doing it for me. (K)
It’s very fun ๐
Your Magic 9 is a hoot! I enjoy writing these as well as reading them – and your is good!!
Basically, I will probably never discover a form or poetry that you haven’t already explored, Muri. ๐
and the forms continue for the fun at heart โฃ๏ธโฃ๏ธ
lovely David๐๐๐
Yeah, I am a bit addicted ๐
you can come with me and Ingrid to one of Writer Annoymous programs ๐คฃ๐คฃโฃ๏ธ
A brac adab ra or Abracadabra is the way we say it.
if you omit the r’s, you get a form of poetry out of it ๐
Yes, magic. ๐
Interesting, we all cast spells on eachother unconsciously with our words..
Sometimes consciously too…
Sometimes with intent.. sometimes unintentional…
Yeah. very powerful. It’s humbling to me.
Indeed David. We are all magicians and wizards. ๐ท๏ธ๐๐ป

You could create an encyclopedia of poetic forms!
I’m pretty sure those already exist ๐
Yours would be better ๐
Awwwwww…..

indeed he could, Ingrid ๐

… for pedestrians like myself, I have just looked up resources for – well procrastination: the Open University has a web site openlearn with loads of free audio and script material – including on poetry. ๐
I often think how lucky we are to be living during this information era – so much is available to us at our very fingertips. Anyone who invests enough time doing online research can make him/herself out as very clever these days!
I am sure you are not ordinary ,in fact you must be as bright as a light. Meanings of pedestrian
pedestrians getting a bad name
some can’t feel their feet –
I am still touching the ground

Having just looked up the structure of a Magic 9 poem, I can see that this is clever and playful. I like it very much and could have a lot of fun with this form.
Do it, do it!
I’m having trouble locating the film, David. Would you post it as a link?
if you look at this webpage directly (instead of in your WP reader), can you see a YouTube video embedded in one of my above comments, Lesley?
Lol, well that is very clear. I WILL do it! ๐
