This was a good write, IndianaIrish. I really liked the flow of it and the message was real food for thought. We don't know how our words affect others or inspire them. Nice job.

Poetry is subjective, as it should be. Our words can touch others in ways we never imagined. And that's the beauty of it all. They can morph into whatever the reader's mind needs at that moment. And even touch his heart. Pure magic.

Yep, there is magic in your writing prompt for sure

Your selected illustration is perfectly matched to your 5-7-5 text

the trick, as you already know, is to say a lot with fewer words, but 17 syllables!

Best wishes in this prompt entry

Interesting write on the power of writing and words. There are so many words in our English language to choose from; it's quite a vast study I don't think you every graduate from. Learning new words everyday is suggested from your piece and inspires me to keep learning and writing, because words and writing is a wonderful gift! Your poem is an inspiration. Nice! I'm not one to believe in magic so I might swap that word with another as I truly believe words come from the heart and soul into our mind to produce on paper, not by magic. Otherwise, I can take from this. Best,

I agree writers have those magic powers. Good 5-7-5 syllable counts. Great choice if magician's hat as complimentary artwork. Good luck in the contest.

Yes, they do. That's why so much effort is put into choosing the best words that engage the reader, make her laugh, make her cry, make her think, etc. Regards, Lou

Yes writers do indeed have that power -perhaps worth noting in the light of the influence of media in our lives today - well portrayed here in this 5-7-5

You have made effective use of all your syllables in this 5-7-5 about the power
of words. They slay or give hope, they bore or captivate, they confuse or clarify, . . .
Good artwork

This work has reached the exceptional level

Isn't this a great art in which we take part? I love it. And truly we do and can shape minds, turn thoughts into words, capture audiences perhaps with simple statements. It's a great way to create visions, imagination, humor, etc. Thanks for your poem which is very good.
