QUIDDITCH SAGA

Gryffindor sings Weasley is king as the Quaffle never goes through the ring
Commenter leans, Malfoy turns green,
150 points for Gryffindor, Fans scream, Cup is won!
Fire wishing bliss as Harry and Ginny share a kiss.

 

HOW TO FIND A POEM

Wake with a dream-filled head.
Stumble out into the morning,
barely aware of how the sun
is laying down strips of silver
after three days’ rain,
of how the puddles
are singing with green.
Look up, startled
at the crackle of something large
moving through the underbrush.
Pulse jumping,
gaze into its beautiful face.
The wary doe’s body,
the soft flames of ears.

As it bounds away,
listen to the rhythm
of your own heart’s disquiet.
Burn into memory
the white flag of its parting.
Before you return
to house and habit,
cast your eyes into the shadows
where others stand waiting
on delicate hooves.
