Here I give you this-
a starry night,
seven moons and a castle,
mountains wrapped in snow.
Here I give you a story-
a swinging lantern,
an urgent secret,
a hero in great danger.
Here I give you a blazing sun,
empty beaches
and a turquoise sea.
A shipwreck. Sunken treasure.
A survivor.
Here I give you rivers
flowing through your front door,
rainbows in your living room,
the plumber a prince,
a kiss, a fairytale wedding.
Here I give you this-
a poem.
May the words put a spell on you.
(by Jean-Michel K.)

Enchanting, reader-weaving inkwork. One of the best poems I've read today - my favorite thus far.
I thought the repetition of "Here I give you" was very effective letting the images flow the heights of the macrocosm to the jewels of the imagination - magic! Thanks, Gay @beachanny
I like this very much ... it's all about what it means to write, to give other people a little bit of your heart and mind. Good job.
Excellent fanciful poem with so much to dream about.
Nice One Shot
Just a reminder that we would love you to enter the One Stop Competition (ends oct 22).

'Here I give you a blazing sun,
