Magic Spoon Poem by Valsa George
Magic Spoon
Starved and ragged, the boy slept near the ferry
In his sleep he saw a fairy
She looked benevolent and merry
The fairy told, he could ask for a boon
Whatever it was, she would grant him soon
In a hurry, he asked for a magic spoon
To fetch him something to still his stomach’s burn
Simple was his wish, never did he long to have the ‘moon’
“Nothing more”, she asked with a smile
And the boy shook his head without guile
Instantly his wish was granted, and much more
He got a magical mask and a belt to wear
Also some mysterious feathers to soar
After directing, what he should do
She vanished quickly without adieu!
The spoon had rare charms to his wonder
With it he could always appease his hunger
He was glad that he would no more be a beggar
What he ate with the spoon turned delicious to his palate
That in his mouth, he got the rarest of taste
The mask he got was matchless and majestic
Something mysterious of the rarest make
As upon his face, he wore it
He felt as if swimming in joy’s lake
With snow white swans and many a drake
He had feathers so fine and flawless
Magical feathers no bird could ever possess
When upon his arms, he tied them tight
And fastened them round his toes and feet
He could dart into the sky like a kite
The belt he got was just right and fit
A magical belt so strange to sight
When he bound it round his waist
He grew stronger than the strongest ox
That he could pull down the biggest of rocks
Mysterious is the working of fate
We do not know when fortune will accelerate
When the boy asked for a boon, many did accumulate
To his simple whim, the fairy was ready to assent
And to him the blessing of a life time, she did grant
A fabulous fairy tale. I loved the story. I wish that you try your hands in writing stories. I am sure you would be equally successful. I hope the fairy in your poem grant me this wish!
Well written! After reading the story, hope every child will have a nice inspiration in him/her as result. That'll make the poem worthier. Thanks for sharing.
In one word, beautiful. I wish I were that boy. Children are going to love this poem. It is lovelier than most of our nursery rhymes - and, when I am there, may I say very well rhymed too. (10)
Ask for the little one and you are granted the grand one. The one who asks for a ton of gold must perish by not being able to carry it. Beautiful poem with imaginative excitement and a practical lesson. Thank you.

Mysterieus is the working of fate We do not know when fortune will accelerate.
