Poem - MAG Poetry Prize 2010
The Magic Child
by
Hull, UK
And it stretched and straddled the gap
of over a billion light years wide
the string that held the swing on
which the magic mind would ride
They looked from earth and thought they'd seen
the blazing tail of a comet
but I knew I'd seen an angel swing
with a smiling child upon it
Her hair was strewn with diamond stars
her face was full of light
and she took control of all the skies
and flew into the night.
