Magicians Unite

Magicians Unite

“I believe something very magical can happen
when you read a good book.”--J.K. Rowling.

Is it magic
when a four year old
sits down
and plays Mozart?

Is it magical,
after forty years
of searching,
to find your soul mate?

Does it take
a magician
to make Trump
disappear?

If it’s true,
find that damn Magus
real soon.

Glenn Buttkus

Quadrille: exactly 44 words.

I was amazed how well our daughters when they were so young their feet couldn't reach the floor could play the piano far better than I have ever been able to.

Christine said...

Well, I have to say I do believe in magic, but if we want Trump gone we might have to move to Sorcery. Magic may not be enough!

said...

lol ... you made me giggle

brudberg said...

We need much more Magic in the world right now.

Linda Lee Lyberg said...

Ah, Glenn, this is wonderful. And yes, If only there was a magic spell we could all do and make him go away. Wait, there is: VOTE BLUE.

I have my fingers crossed that Nature will do her magic and get rid of Trump in a spectacular way. Magic exists, but it won’t come if you look for it – it will always find you.

absolutely delightful, made me smile ... we all need a wand to vanquish our inadequate "leaders"!

When Noam Chomsky was asked how to stop terrorism, his answer was "stop participating in it". I kinda think the same of USA left-right syndrome, two sides keeping each other in power, not really fighting for it. But magic, stop participation and giving energy to BS, start giving it to what you wish for your life! It will ripple! FYI, from Finland so out of the foxbox and all this weird horror of the word socialism, democracy is almost a synonym. Two parties is an illusion of choice, like I used to dress my son when he was young, you wanna wear this or this? Illusion of option gave him the illusion of control. King Mammon Captalis the Third is our new organized religion, and I've never been a fan of pre-chewed thoughts...

The last verse got my smile

Happy Monday

much love...

Magic can and does happen. I agree with Kim. It chooses whether to visit and there is no way to predict where or when it will be.

I have always wondered about savants, genetic imprint, karma, or just pure magic. And while my thought processes were stimulated and bubbling, POW! it's the Trump again. You are relentless!! lol

Kerfe said...

And make it retroactive.

Truedessa said...

I hope someone will find the magical cure for this virus.

Stay safe and healthy...

Pat R said...

I am afraid there is no magical cure for this one!! Finding a soulmate is really magical!

sarah said...

I'm not sure about magic, but I think nature is hitting back pretty hard at the moment.

Reena Saxena said...

I like the idea of making Trump disappear :)

Alexandra said...

Abracadabra!

Abracadabra!

ABRACADABRA!

Nope, he's still here. damn.

Laura Bloomsbury said...

I love the magic of finding a soul mate - leaders come and go, just needs a magic ballot box unless you happen to live in a dictatorship. Be thankful you don't!

Merril D. Smith said...

There's magic around--I think it will take more than that to get rid of him. BUT, if you know someone who has the right spell. . .

Grace said...

Please unite and give him the hex so that he loses. On the bright side, I believe in soul mates!
