Poem: A Spell (#octoprompt)

[About Cat Hartliebe] [#Octoprompt] #spell

Late again. oh well. Still, it’s done. I wrote it.

Wonder if Cyro succeeded…

A Spell

let me teach you a spell
it’s simple as spells go
as powerful as you make it

anyone can use it
and you’ll be surprised
at the reaction of most

you go to a person
no matter who
and offer a smile
thats only step one

then you start a conversation
simple or complex
any would work

the spell should ready
if you said enough things
so repeat after me

“You are beautiful.”

you’ll be surprised
how often it works
on almost everyone

unless there is trauma
which acts like a curse
and this spell causes harm

if you are aware
of the trauma behind them
try these words instead

“You gave me a lot to think about;
Thanks.”

it is no where near as strong
but manages well enough
against most traumas

add these to your spell book
beside I love you
and thank you

you’ll find the use
to such a powerful spell
everywhere you look

promise
