The Wizard


Do not be afraid
Step into my realm
My bark maybe
Worse than my bite
Here wishes are granted
On a whim
To peasant and farmer
And possibly a queen
Magic runs free
On the prompt of a child
Fireworks glow brightly
In the darkest of nights
Dreams can come true
If you smile just right
With sparkling desire
Just be careful
Choose wisely
Once granted
I cannot return

    I always wanted to be a witch/wizard, which (!) is why I enjoyed your poem, Robert. I love the lines:
    'Magic runs free
    On the prompt of a child'.

    oh the dark wizard grants wishes on a whim?

    I love the lines "magic runs free on the prompt of a child" - and I really like the ending, it speaks of the traditional "fairy tale" flip side - be careful for your wishes, .... has this sort of "magic in a bottle" feel

    Wish related things are always a tricky proposition. Forethought is strongly advised.
