The Magic of No Magic
One Day, a witch approached a girl,
And begged her for some spells.
"I have tried ev'ry enchantment,
But men, my face repels!"
The girl smiled and said to her,
"Ms. Witch, I tell you this:
There is no spell inside this world
To make men give a kiss.
I will, however, give you this;
A book from off my shelf.
It states it all quite clearly,
To always be yourself."
The witch said, "Then, give me a charm,
So I may be content!
I have tried each trick I know, yet,
Displeasure I am sent!"
Again, the girl smiled and said,
"Ms. Witch, I tell you this:
There is no charm that ever will
Bestow to you true bliss.
Ms. Witch, though spells and charms are nice,
They never will replace
The blessings you've been given,
Or the smile on one's face."

A few weeks ago, my humanities teacher told me that one of the teachers in charge of the yearbook was looking for poems to enter into the art section. She said that she immediately thought of me (I had shown her one of my other poems a while ago), so I wrote this poem. When she (my teacher) read my poem, she said that I should really, really consider getting it published. I hope you all like it! :)
