Toads: Black Magick

Imaginary Garden With Real Toads
Words Count


 
Challenge:  cast a spell in 73 words or less.



a dash of magick,

alchemy dark and potent,

to conjure ancient secrets

from tombs and places unknown.

stir the mind to whirling speed,

transcend the astral plane.

bring back the treasured knowledge

then sign the pledge

to never tell.

there is no magick.

there is no spell.
