Recess
Free time in the magician’s workshop and all the elementals dance with joy escaping the alembics lamps and holding spells to rise like festive helium balloons to spin and bow and pirouette- as snakes and ladders tilt and slide as jacks jump out of boxes and acrobats leap arms reaching for the next catch across this animated space full of riotous cacophony threatening to blow itself out of the window up to the moon Mary C. McCarthy Mary McCarthy has always been a writer, but spent most of her working life as a Registered Nurse. She has had many publications in journals, including Earth's Daughters, Caketrain, and The Evening Street Review, among others. She has only recently discovered the vibrant poetry communities on the internet, where there is so much to explore and enjoy. This poem was written as part of the ekphrastic 20 Poem Challenge.
