HOW TO WRITE A MAGICAL POEM

There is nothing easier than writing a magical poem.
If you have strong nerves and good intentions at least.
It is not that difficult I assure you.
Take a rope and tie it to a cloud.
And leave one end of it dangling.
Like a child, climb the rope to the end.
And throw it back to us.
And let us try to find you and then, in every poem.
