Conjurer

April 25, 2011

 Conjurer

He left them,
mesmerized by the roadside.

Wordsmithe.

Weaver of songs,
images conjured from the stars
minds whisked away, dreamy stares –

Itinerant troubadour.
Word juggler.

Illusionist extraordinaire.

Trivial falsehoods
crafted out of whole cloth –
Sleight of hand, slight of mind.

Legerdemain.

Poetaster.

Lost art.

    If you don’t already know him check out Facts for Visitors, Srikanth Reddy. He conjures a world unlike no other I’ve seen except in sci-fi fantasy writing, except he does it in poetry. It’s wonderful. Thank you for sharing your poetry!
