Pomegranate Flowers: NaPoWriMo 2022: Bookbag Magic

[4/8/2022]

Nineteen discrete doors to possibility.

Is it any wonder this bag is so heavy?

It can hold riddles, wonders, a sunflower time-machine,

Shapeshifters and nightmares and attempts to fathom the divine.

Recent voices wander past

With sages who’ve been proven to last.

Some doors are worn and quite well-known

And some are green and newly grown

From some patch of magic forest.

I wait in the hall and rest

And nerve myself for another adventure

Past all watchful eyes and censure.
