“Expecto Patronum”, or

 

the Impossibility of the Impossible

We Write Poems gave this as a prompt for this week:

Guardian Angel

I wish I could stand up,

reach out with my wand

and say proudly: “Expecto Patronum!”

I wish HE would appear

in the form of bright light

to guard off whatever I fear.

Well, I COULD do it.

But that’s all, I’m afraid

No one WILL ever appear

For no guardian angels abide

in my dark cave of despair.
