a world without witches...


Can you imagine a world without witches,

A world with all people the same?

Where the only known dragons are hiding in books,

And children are terribly tame?

A world without magic would be sad indeed.

I cannot imagine the pain

Of having a world where there's no Santa Claus,

Where wizards are searched for in vain.

Can you imagine a world without spells,

That science and businesses run?

And think of the sadness a unicorn feels

When he no longer plays in the sun.

Can you imagine a world without witches,

No elves and no magical pools?

And can you imagine how dull it would be

If all that we had were the schools?

I cannot imagine a world without witches,

A world with no magical wand.

A world without beauty, or even a dream,

Or a wood sprite of whom to be fond.

They say I should grow up and be more mature,

Like a normal adult ought to do.

But I'd rather, at night, go to dance with a witch,

And I'll bet that you feel that way, too.


Can you Imagine?

  5. I found you by way of one of my followers who also follows you. This is a wonderful poem and perfectly right. A world without magic is insupportable. I have taught my children never to step on mushrooms because a fairy might be living there. We firmly believe that dragons come in all shapes and sizes, both good and evil. I will be back again. The waterfall picture is exquisite.

  6. I would never want to go back to the mundane world - life is so much better being a witch. Thank you so much for sharing :-)
