Wish Ghost
As if winking could undo
unmake
return the past
as if fading out detail
crispness
line
could induce forgetfulness
forgiveness
A future of honey and stasis
The sweetest roses have barbs
thanks to Tess for the prompt and picture

Brilliant! So well crafted and beautifully understated. Love it!
Delightfully delicate interpretation of this Magpie.
I've read many on the prompt but your piece is brilliant, sensitive, adorable Isabel!
Kiss you. <3
Yes it did occur to me that he was playing with a wink! thanks-
Great post - I wish the past could be changed as easily as a wink
Isabel- Beautiful...I really like the ending.
Brilliantly understated.
excellent...love the structure you used...very effective and the closing lines are brilliant...
Brilliant Isabel - great poem!
Oh, I love this. A wonderful take on the prompt.
Love your formatting of this poem. Poetry has a visual side that we often step around on the internet because blogs can so mess up that format - especially when linked or networked.
Nice Magpie
So very nicely done! ;)
this is brilliant - love the use of space to underline the words
A beautiful flow of words..like giving up secrets...I love the "crispness"of it all!!
Wonderfully insightful.
Love this...there are those who think they can erase their errors with a wink and a phrase and the passage of time
As one who never plays with form like this, I want to admire the crisp and clear way form works for you in this poem.
"A future of honey and stasis"
If only.
Excellent poem! The past is always the past, but forgiveness is always good!
Something quite sad at the heart of this. Lovely poem.
Oh, wow, nice. I especially like the last line...
Content and form? I would grant you an A+.
Lovely. It takes a painter...
