Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.
― Roald Dahl
This week for Colleen and Ron’s Writer’s Quote Wednesday challenge we have been given ‘magic’ as our prompt. I feel that there are many wondrous and magical things around us , if only we take the time to see it.
Magic is all around us
If only we choose to see.
The first cry of a baby
Delicious honey from a bee
The beauty of the countryside
In the flowers and the trees
The secret little kingdoms
That dwell beneath our seas
The sunrise and the sunset
Fluffy clouds that float on by
The aurora borealis-
That lightshow in the sky
The scientific breakthroughs
That helps us cure our sick
Magicians that keeps us guessing
At how they do their tricks
The glistening snowy landscape
Sparkling stars at night
Yes, magic is all around us
It makes our world so bright.
Beautiful!

We are surrounded by magic indeed. It is the art of looking at it which makes us see and get astounded about the little wonders. That was a beautiful poem, Judy!

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
