Just a Dash

Just a little poem, nothing too complicated, something for a little light, fun reading.

I'm mixing up something wonderful,

Can you guess what it is?

No?

Well how about some hints...

 

A pinch of fantasy,

A little romance,

Sprinkled with lust,

And just a dash of magic.

 

Do you know what it is?

No?

Well this won't do!

More hints for you!

 

One teaspoon of power,

One cup of happiness,

Two parts desire,

Baked to perfection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve given you more than enough hints,

Come now use your brain!

 

A little adventure,

A little mystery,

A smidgen of reality,

Covered in illusion.

 

It's something simple,

something sweet,

something you see every night,

something you don't always remember.

 

Have you guessed it yet?

Please tell me you have,

it shouldn't be that hard,

to think of a dream.

 

 

:)

Haha, honestly my first guess was a cheap pulp fiction fantasy novel. Didn't guess it right until "something you see every night". The guessing game is a pretty good idea as far as technique is concerned, it keeps the reader engaged in the same way a whodunnit does.
I like the way it sounds like a child talking - what, with the short sentences and simple vocabulary. The only thing that spoils this is abbreviating teaspoon to "tsp" (I think that's what you meant). I was hearing this in my head in a child's voice, but when I read that the voice literally pronounced "tsp". Like the gap between the two halves of the poem, because it genuinely gives you time to reconsider the clues and have a guess. If that wasn't there, I probably would've just gone on reading to find out what it was without really having a guess.
Nice one : )
