Many years later... Poem 11

The 11th poem of the month. I think I may make it all the way through! As with the other poems, today's was inspired by a visual prompt from Bud the Teacher's blog. It was an image of a disheveled young adult peering into a refrigerator with a look of surprise. Check it out and get inspired too! 

Many years later…

A simple day -

An ordinary moment

Peering into the fridge I

mentally rehearse the

grocery list.

Softly sighing,

I barely remember the magic

that once filled me.

From the edges of my mind

comes the faint whisper of

a roar.

Surely that isn’t a

lamppost

peeking out from

behind the wilting lettuce?

Scratching a note on the

back of a Chinese menu, I

dart inside and

slam the door behind me.

“Don’t expect my return,

I’ve rediscovered

Magic.

Love to all,

Edmund”
