maybe and then perhaps not do I believe
all in all magic probably needs an a & l to make it real
god is the likeliest source - wholly on a high
inverse of course summons something terribly black
conjuring the uncanny with decapitated hens
against such shadows there are spellbinding scenes
longlasting enough for love to alight

   1. Thank you – rarely write acrostics but this one emerged as if by magic!

8. I need to think on this one a little, Laura. So much deep meaning there. The photography complements the word play.

   1. a good comment Beth – thank you. The opening line sets the ambivalence as magic has a dark side but as adjective it goes along with all the mystical magical occasions including falling in love ❤

9. nice use of form, may the light guide through the darkness.

12. A fabulous combination, Laura!

    1. the acrostic led the way Kim -must try them more often

14. against such shadows, there are spellbinding scenes
