Magic Released

Missing image

Magic Released

Deep in the wood and over the highland;
In a secret place that’s found on no map.
Just a small niche, an uncharted island,
Where both the future and past overlap.

Naclissa was born on this island of fate,
Where mystical meanings of life are found.
She came here to teach us so we can relate
And understand magical teachings profound.

To some; Naclissa may just be fine art,
An image that’s drawn with crayon and pen.
But if you have vision and love in your heart,
You’ll see she’s a princess among noblemen.

An artist has freed her, no longer confined,
Released from that Island, deep in your mind.

    This is wonderful. you have chosen to write on a topic most don't understand and fear. i myself have not ever believed in fate or myths and yet now i find myself questioning whether or not i should take the time to delve into that which i don't understand. your rhyme is perfectly on set and the image you provided really helps to show what you were trying to convey with words. this takes my mind into a place that it has never been and i'm thinking about what it would be like to really experience this type of emotion for myself. great job

    Reminds me of both the Greek and Irish myths of works of art come to life. The couplet reminds us that thoughts, images and memories live beyond the sensual substance from which they are generated.

      aww thank you I wrote it for the artwork of an AP poet. I guess it offended her as she never commented; that wasn't my intention.

    Beautiful, as usual! You know I think Michaelangelo said something about freeing forms from stone: your poem reminds me of this. I love the beauty of the first line: it really draws us in, and the loveliness of a place "where both the future and past overlap" is astounding. What a lovely thing you've done, both gesture and poem itself!

    Delightfully well written. The sonnet is perfect in meter and rhyme; they're both unforced and very natural. The story told in the poem is wonderful. Beautiful.

    The greenstone carving she seems to be wearing looks like a Maori Koru, the indigenous people of NZ

    An unusual sonnet

    Form, meter, rhyme, length...even a problem presented and conclusion allowed. The content is a step away from traditional, which is why it's so good. Kudos

    Gratiously bows once again to the one, who carries words in a magic sack of her own, sprinkling them over screens at her leasure, to bring us all stories filled with such pleasure, now how will we master these writes of our own? keep her tied up in a fantasy zone? or feed her with comments to lighten her way, then maybe she'll show us, we'll pray for the day.

    As always, so smooth and flowing. I love the idea of 'drawing her to life' and you expanded it beautifully.

    And Naclissa lives and breaths at the hands of Amera, but that's why you are the Queen

    A beautiful sonnet of fantasy.

    wonderful magic pen

    This tale emanated with mystical magic reminding me of Irish tales ; I was wondering if
    she had been a true princess from legends ; this sonnet rings with rhyme and a playful
    whim .Just lovely as you are .

    You have such an affinity for these whimsical poems, yet you imbue them with your own special brand of wisdom, making them more than what they first appear. This one has a Lewis Carroll, Dr. Seuss quality to it. From where I sit, that is high praise indeed.

    of a movie. Another lost Narnia story perhaps. A wonderful Sonnet.

    what's so amazing

    about your form poems is not really that you do them so exceptionally well
    by now all of ap knows that, what's so amazing though is well you compose a story
    that is both entertaining, and educational at the same time..and of course splashed with a good bit of 'magic'..

    Brilliant is about the only word I can think of. I very rarely see sonnets that flow with such smoothness.

    This is what writing to an image should be. You have created an entire person, and a world for her to live in, and firmly anchored it in a beautiful sonnet
    Superb stuff
