It’s Quadrille Monday over at the dVerse Poets Pub! Our writing prompt is Magic. Exactly 44 words.


A roomful
of people or
even a nightclub
when you looked at me
and grinned
that crooked grin
Poof!
the world disappeared.

Just you and me.

Sometimes that magic still happens
when I gaze at the midnight sky
and wonder

which star is you.

    I like the thought of having one’s attention so focused on another that the world disappears.

    1. The Abject Muse Avatar

      Me too. :-) Thanks, Frank!

    I agree with Beverly: You told a poignant tale in only a few words.
