Magic Words Eva W.

One of my magic words is demon

It’s for when I’m striking attack!

And another word is scorpion.

When I use this word I freeze time,

to make another world

The Storm of (M)agic Neia H.

Bippity, boppity, boop

I see you

And a maid will appear to be a DJ

so git yo booty on down

In the place to be.

Now listen!

Oh yea, oh yea, oh yea!

The storm of magic.

I Love Zendaya Nina S.

Zendaya,

because Zendaya is my ideal,

and she has long, long, hair

like Rapunzel

and I love it.

And she is beautiful.

Like, really, really, beautiful.

I wish that I was like her,

I want to be 20!

Taylor Swift Harmony W.

My magic word is Taylor Swift.

I would transform into Taylor Swift

with laser eyes,

and I could see if people

were telling the truth

or lying.
