Spell Words





Spell Words

There is good reason
spellcasters and poets
drink from the same well.

Words shape thought,
thought forms expression,
expression shapes intent,
and then the magic happens.

Just the right word,
in just the right spot,
said just the right way,
casts every spell ever.

This Quadrille (44 word poem) was prompted by the word SPELL at DVerse Poets.
