My vote:
“only bad witches are ugly.”
A little non sequitor does the body good.

i think we’re down to three:

1) “now get to your cauldrons and stir something up”

2) varations on “there’s no place like poem” … such as (a) “there’s no place like poem” (by itself); (b) “there’s no place like poem [you've always had the power]“; (c) “close your eyes, tap your heels together three times and think to yourself: there’s no place like poem.”

3) and new ones which may delight only me: “now be gone, before somebody drops a house on you, too.” (it has nothing to do with poetry or writing, though.) and “only bad witches are ugly.” … “there are no ugly poems. only bad witches are ugly.” ??

Here’s something(s) an ad-firm would think up:

Make magic.

***

Make magic, make a poem.

Poetry spells us.

I do think I am most fond of “There’s no place like poem.” It’s an incantation!

I still like mine best. “There’s no place like poem.” She’s the good witch, anyway!

As for this poem, I wrote something vedddy interesting from the “first orgasm” prompt. You got me all nostalgic for Mickey blotter. I’m trying to work something with that, my daughter’s whistling, and maybe knitting or breaking things. They turn into three separate poems, joined at the end, and I’m not sure I like it that way.

I think the orgasm poem works by itself, with tweaks (hahaha).

Also, I like “now get to your cauldrons and stir something up,” and I do think “something wicked this way poems” is a little bit of a stretch.

I’m posting my three pieces in case anyone wants to use them in some way:

first orgasm
first death
first fear

there are many great ideas here! thank you.

the last one i had “reached” for before i issued my plea was: “now get to your cauldrons and stir something up.” one or two of these was similar. that either means it’s the right way to go or the way not to go. hhmm.

i like the “spell” concept — but i only get the corny “how do you SPELL magic? p-o-e-m.” i know there’s more to be said on spells. or maybe potions …

“something wicked this way comes” has a special place in my heart not just b/c of macbeth but mostly ray bradbury. is “something wicked this way poems” a stretch?

or if i go with the popular and catcy “there’s no place like poem” should i add something: “there’s no place like poem (you’ve had it in you the whole time)” –or whatever that quote is from glenda the good witch …

i think we’re getting some place with this! any more thoughts as this evolves?

p.s. don’t judge me but my mind was in the gutter with the broomstick thing immediately.

I think Leslie has a winner there with “There’s no place like poem”
