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

  4. I really like the first line, how Abracadabra seems to conjure the subject into being... out of thin air.

  5. A 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!

  7. Oh, 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.
    Well-penned.

  9. Such a great wordplay here... I have a feeling that inflicting hurt is all too common... maybe we just need to spread blame for our own failures
