Flowers Spin
Flowers spin and flowers fly!
If I can catch the petals as they go
Maybe they won't reach the sky,
If I can send them someplace I know.
Some land of magical let's pretend,
Where all their pretty colors never fade
And springtime never needs to end!
Isn't that why magic flowers were made?
Flowers spin and flowers fall!
If I throw them from the back porch
Will they take root and grow really tall?
Sorry that is not how real magic works.
Only in some land of let's pretend,
Where magic can actually do anything
And springtime never needs to end!
Fairies fly there, their wings shimmering.
Flowers spin and flowers sing!
If I listen, I can hear their music now
It causes me to giggle and grin,
And in the end it makes me go “wow”.

I liked how you made this flow so well along with the themes to bring us that magic.
Excellent work.
Welcome to DUP.

Hey, thanks! Yeah, magic is one of my favorite, favorite things to write about. I'm glad you liked how my poem turned out, too! It was my first poem from last year. I just went back and made it lots and lots better, with some advice from my mom first.

Wow! Great to see you enjoyed reading my poem too. I watched the old black and white movie of that a couple of years ago. My sister loves Shakespeare! Me, I just thought it was a funny story. I always like fairy stories, and fairy tales too.

I simply adore this poem of yours, Chloe! I am happy that I decided to give your poems a look, this is truly delightful in so many ways. I too have a great fondness or all things magical, mystical, and beautiful... and this poem of yours is all three of those things rolled into one. That is cool how you took your first ever poem and with your mother's help were able to rework it into this! Splendid stuff for sure. I look forward to seeing what more you end up creating... with an imagination as magnificent as yours seems to be, even the sky is not the limit. Do not be afraid to fly as high as you can! We all possess wings... but often we hold ourselves back from being able to fully utilize them to truly soar. However, you are not afraid to soar methinks, and that is something I can relate to quite well. You are definitely quite the magical princess! After reading your poem, all I can say is "wow". :D

Hiya, Kara! You really, really do like my poem? Oh, that makes me so happy! You look cool in your picture, by the way... you remind me of that Star Wars character Asajj Ventress. She's one of my favorites, so I mean that as a compliment! Yeah, magic is totally not a taboo subject in my house, my Mom is kind of borderline Wiccan so she gets it. I think my sister dabbles a bit, but hasn't fully committed to it yet. Me, my sister just always says I should BE committed, but that's cuz she's just a big mean jerk-face sometimes. I like the way you talk... you kind of remind me of like some sort of medieval princess or queen or something. I mean, nobody is that eloquent anymore! I've got more poetry in store, don't you worry about that. Tonight I want to have a look through some of yours though. You're one of the first people I've connected with on here so far, so I'd like to learn more about your poetry, and you too of course. I'm pen pals with Sibyl, she sometimes does online mentoring with me, and she told me all about how cool she thinks you are. Just like I told you in that message I sent you last night, I want to see if everything she says about you is true because if it is then that is awesome. It means you are like a real life magical being, like a sorceress or something. Sorry if I don't know the right word for it, I'm still learning some things. Do you really think I can fly like you said? Of course not literally, but like with my poems I mean! Maybe you could teach me some pointers sometime about writing. Sibyl says you take apprentices sometimes, and if you really, really can do magical things and write really good, I'd love to learn all of that from you! That's cool you can relate, most adults don't relate good to me at all. They either say I need to grow up fast, or that I'm just plain nuts. I'm blushing a little that you said I'm a magic princess. Nobody ever called me that before! Anyway, see you around the site Kara. If you see Sibyl, too, tell her I said hi.

You know, you are not the first person to compare me to that rather particular Star Wars character! I find that comparison flattering, since I always thought that Ventress was cool too. Magic should never be a taboo subject, since it is a valid and integral part of the universe all around us, and the natural world especially. Myself, I am a Luciferian Gnostic Pagan... though I began by practicing the ways of the druids, before working my way up to Wicca and eventually discovering what my truest path was intended to be. In many ways, my mystical path chose me as much as ever I was meant to choose it. Siblings can always be jerk faces when the mood takes them to be insufferable like that! It simply cannot be helped it seems. You most certainly should not evet be committed! I like your crazy, vibrant sort of spirit, and find that it contains just the right and reasonable amount of required madness to make things interesting. I never really thought about the way I talk, but people do tell me that it is rather distinctive. I am glad that it translates well into how I write too! In many ways, I am a product of all of my past lives I suppose. It is actually rather sad that people do not strive for a better degree of eloquence anymore. Most people prefer abbreviations to words a great deal of the time, so that speech such as mine can with some people seem like a dying or lost art form. I am happy to keep it well and truly alive! I cannot wait to read more of your works. As soon as you put them up, I will mostly definitely read and comment upon them. I am glad you communicate with Sibyl! She is one awesome woman, and a very dear soul whom I love very much. Everything she said to you of me is indeed true, if not more so in ways that even she might not fully fathom the enormity thereof. I am not sure if the term magical being is entirely accurate but in the lack of a better term it will do quite nicely. You could say that I am a sorceress or a sorcerer, that would be just as true! You appear to be learning quite well, I am actually impressed by how well. I would be happy to give you lots and lots of pointers when it comes to writing! We can go over those as I teach you about the more magical and mystical sorts of things. I am happy to consider you to be my apprentice! You may see yourself as such henceforth, in fact. I will teach you everything that now, with time. That I can promise and deliver upon! Most adults are not like me... I have to agree they do grow up entirely too fast, and sometimes seem all too willing to cast aside all sense of wonder and magic, and innocence, in the pursuit of material gain. Which in the end can lead only to sorrow and regret! You do not need to grow up fast, nor should you. Likewise, you are far from nuts... in fact, you are one of the most rational, to me at least, girls that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Never forget that you are special because you are you! You are my magical princess, and one day you will comprehend just how magical you can truly be. It is a joy to see you around the site, Chloe! I will most definitely tell Sibyl that you said hello when next I speak with her. :)

I love magical stuff! I'm happy to be your apprentice, Kara. This is like something I've always dreamed about, too. I've been studying a little about the Druids lately, they remind me a lot of like early Wiccans in a way. What with the reverence for nature, and a belief in gods and in goddesses that have aspects in the natural world. They also believed in a magical otherworld where things like fairies and elves lived! I've been trying to become more eloquent myself, which is why I'm trying to do so good in English class. I hate using abbreviations for things! Unless you have to, like with acronyms and stuff like that. Then it's okay. Oh, I know I'm not nuts! You can't be as smart as I am and be nuts... although it arguably helps. Lol But on a more serious note, I definitely do really, really want to be your special, magical princess for always. I don't know why, but I just feel like you and I were supposed to meet each other! I'm glad we did. I see you on the site right now! Good we're both on together today.

I am glad we've met each other too! Sybil was wonderful to make that happen for us. You will definitely always be my special, pretty, magical princess forever and ever, and beyond that too! I'm glad we're both on here today too and cannot wait for our webcam time to start in a little while. You are the smartest little girl I know, sweetie! I think we're all just a little but nuts in this world... sometimes, you just plain have to be. They say that the true crazy ones are those who cannot accept that we all have a measure of madness within us. ;)

Too true, too true! I'm just crazy enough, without it being too much.

This is a very nice, pretty poem you've written here, Chloe! I like it very much. You always did love flowers, ever since you were a lot more little than you are right now. I used to like playing with flowers when I was little too, although me I used to pluck dandelions and pop their heads off, singing a silly song about it as I did it. It was a thing back in my generation a lot of kids did! Not sure about your generation though. It might be something kids always did for all I know. Anyways, your poem was very nice and it made me say "wow" too! Keep up the great work, I love your bright style.

That's great you like my poem, Sibyl! I had to edit my poems today cuz I noticed I spelled a couple things wrong in two of them but they're all better now. Fixed and good as new! Yeah, I know that game. You say that name of someone you don't like and then you sing: "INSERT NAME HERE had a baby and HIS OR HER head popped off!" But the boys sing a different version and it's not about someone's head. Everyone says wow when they read this poem! That means I did a good job with it. Mission accomplished!
