Wizardus Twirlius

With a rustle of ivy and a whiff of strong smoke
A dazzling bright flash transforms into a long cloak
Where once there was nothing, where no-one stood
Now stands a wizard with a dark cloak and hood
A cackle of laughter reveals one magi’s glee
As the Master of Skeletons holds out a key wizard hat
The gathered all watch in anticipation and awe
As the purple clad wizard opens the door
Using the key taken from the skeleton’s hand
He opens the door to a vast, wondrous land
The ivy spills out through this large mystic portal
The witches move forward as they snigger and chortle
The skeleton steps back, as this is no place for he
wizard hat The wizard holds up his hand and shouts “Follow Me!”
One by one they step out into this realm
The passage disguised as a sturdy old elm
The wizard, four witches, a spider, and a cat
Step into a large field – an empty one at that
”Where are the crowds?” asks the Witch for the East
”And,” cries the West Witch, “where’s the food for our feast?”
The Wise Witch says to the wizard “We’re too keen,”
She smiles, and then adds “It’s not yet Halloween” wizard hat
The Dim Witch stares forward, and looks at the Moon
”We’ve done it again – we’ve come here too soon!”
The wizard looks around at each and everyone
Thinks quickly, and declares “Yes, the test is now done!
Follow me back to our lair where we’ll wait”
And he tapped his watch thinking “At least we weren’t late!”

Magical Sir Aquatom, loving the twirliusness…… ‘Cough’ n’ ‘Splutter’… red faced bluster… his magic watch has caused much fluster… Twirlies, whirlies and Wizard quick thinking, made sure they accepted ‘the test’ without blinking… xPenx
(shouldv’e had the magic batteries tested…methinks, n’ oooh yes, Hortense is coming your way tonight Sir A, muttered something about lost property? 😀 ) … x

  Thanks for adding another twirl to my rhyme, Lady P, and yes it appears the wizard’s batteries may be going (his aren’t the only ones either – this wireless keyboard of mine is dropping letters left, right and centre!)
  As for Hortense’s hat, could you let her know that it isn’t lost, we know where it is, and it is in safe hands. The wizard borrowed it… and I’m sure he’ll return it soon. If he checks his watch that is. And his calendar too…

Tom can you tell me how you can get the pictures on the sidebar to be clickable?
I see the halloween banner is clickable, and I have tried to do it at my site but couldnt.
What widget do you use? Hope you can help. Hugs, Nikki

Much better to have an early test run, Tom.
Hope you’re storing these in a book. This one’s fabulous. Love your wizard. Very Rincewind.

  Thanks Kate. I have thoughts of a book, but nothing definite.
  You’d think early test runs would help; but something tells me otherwise about this random lot!

You are an excellent poet Aquatom
I have enjoyed reading this one as it
flows with a Magical edge of Witches
and a Wizard, a Spider and a Cat,
and now with comments added, you
know what we are thinking of that 🙂 😉

  Ha – thanks Andro! 😀
  I still don’t class what I write as poems, though… tales with a rhyming edge to them, or just rhymes. However, I’m very pleased that you have enjoyed what I have written!
