the 12 given words:
Abracadabra Almond Always Amplify
Arduous (hard to accomplish or achieve)
Artifice (cunning; ingenuity; inventiveness)
Atypical (not typical; irregular; abnormal)
Angle Avoid Agonize Ankle
abracadabra... an almond-eyed beauty
always contending to amplify her talents
in arduous magical endeavours surreptitiously
created with artifice and atypical assertions
a clever angle of a spin not just to outsmart
but to avoid a conflict agonizingly expended
with ankles deeply embedded in the mud
waiting in the cold equally frustrated
a lesson learnt for in all innocence
the desire to inflict a hurt on a person
not physically but still with bad intentions
will fail in whatever forms of connivance

Have to watch those spins, can do you umm ins
ReplyDeleteI really like the first line, how Abracadabra seems to conjure the subject into being... out of thin air.
ReplyDeleteA very clever use of those given words, Hank! And I have to say the this write is linguistically superior. The first line is a wonderful 'ta-da!' moment. Good one!
ReplyDeleteOh if only all bad intentions could be thwarted. It would be a far more peaceful world.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the final stanza which makes for a perfect closing of this magical journey. That desire to inflict a hurt when ends in failure suggests that something out there may after all be looking out for us.
ReplyDeleteWell-penned.
