Out of the Cauldron with Harry Potter
I was born
a feathery technicolor cloud-
a sparkling shroud of shimmying neurons.
A pen erected.
A flashing sabre
scissoring the blank,
pasty face
of a novel page,
clean as chaste honeymooners
until they glowed in their first heat.
Ahem!
How is Harry...
Harry Hocus-pocus
leaned out snow-white towers
into a concrete cauldron
of heretics' stew:
Aloe vera juice
apple strudel tarts;
Bird's breath
butterfly wings;
Canine's canines, cat guts,
cinnamon, clove,
cotton candy seeds;
Dark lace
Foxglove;
Hazel, heather,
honeydew husks,
horse heels;
Lavender mint
lizard hearts
licorice leaves
lyres;
Spires,
spider legs,
Rubik's cube
Russian thistle,
toad's pupils
Trifolium repens
& vervane, a blushing indigo.
Baked.
Harry Potter!
A curious nimbus detonated iridescent raindrops ~
wet imaginations flourished like bedazzled beans...
