Poetry Competition III
Someone, I think it was Rosebud, made the first two, and now they're dead, so I'll make a new one. I think I won that last one, so I'll post the topic. You write a poem on that topic then the winner gets to chose the next topic! And please don't let this die!
Okay, the topic is: Write about magic. Write about something magical, or some faraway magical land. Write about witches and dragons, fairies and talking animals. Write about real-life magic, or sad-cursing magic, or maybe even everyday-unnoticed magic. Write your best poem about magic, whatever you think it is!

Tears
The night before
The last day
Of camp
We did a special Havdalah
And I cried
I cried
I cried until I got in bed
And I still remember it
Because camp is my favorite place to be
That night was proof
Every time I think of camp
My eyes tear up
I miss it
And that night was proof
Those tears were proof

Sorry, I know that this poem is horrible. But, it's about something that I care about-camp. Yeah, I miss it sooo badly.
P.S. Admins, last time I posted a poem, you took out the spaces in between lines. Can you please try to leave the spaces this time? Thanks!

Stormy
Gray skies
Misty rain
Falls lightly
Out the window
Math class
Takes forever
Finally
It’s over
School’s over
Backpacks
Lockers
Don’t get your homework wet
Outside
Running
Don’t slip on the sports court
Wait.
There’s a volleyball.
Where?
There.
In the bush.
Oh.
There?
I’m gonna get it.
Okay.
Passing
Setting
People come
Hi.
Can I join you?
Sure.

I want to try this!
History
If what once was is what I will it,
Everything began of late.
Alexander not great,
Elizabeth not first--
There only is what in which I am versed.
But though be but me and my thoughts, still it
Has a start. Memory springs back until it
Down vague stairs slowly steps;
And in my mother's arms down them I ride,
Bound out of where I'd always slept,
And into a new home thus changed the tide.
But with such import gladly I'm not cursed.
No, let those lazy lies just slip aside;
And tell the world's true history--
The smallest part of which is me.

Yes! MORE POETRY!
Moth Wings
Warm bodies bump and push and shove
No time to fetch a dropped glove
You keep your head down; you keep your eyes low
No emotion aside from panic you can show.
It's the hallways and stairs that are rushed and a crowd
The varied shouts, laughter, angry jeers are so loud
And you've got no time to see who else might be there
A friend or an enemy, something you love, hate or care.
But I've seen, if you stop, push off to the side.
Let the crowd melt around, brush you off to the side.
If you look near the window, you see the most quiet of things
A single flutter of moth wings.
