Illustration Friday ~ Opinion

What's in a name sighed Magnificent Max...
As he gathered his props and started to pack.

The bunnies revolted, the birds flew away
Not a whole lot of magic had happened that day.

But descending the ladder as he caught the last bird
"He must be a wizard!" magic Max overheard.

His dreams of illusion had not slipped away
To the kids he was magic, that magnificent day!

by Roberta Baird

Your opinion of others can either boost or bust.
I choose boost!







This will also be used as my next promotional postcard.
