I hope your weekend is going great!  A lot of times I hear from clients that they feel like they are running out of things to say during their petitions; that perhaps they are just saying things by rote and they seem to have lost their zing!<\/p>\n<p>\nOne thing I encourage people to do is write a nice poem and make that their petition.  But not everyone is a poet!  \ud83d\ude42  That is okay, a quick search on the internet for &quot;love poems&quot; will yield you a treasure trove of good (and some not so good) love poems.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBack in the days of chat class, we talked a bit about how rhythm and cadence and rhyme exist in almost all spell work.  Poetry, of course, falls right into that category!  A great number of love poems seem like they were written for spell work!  \ud83d\ude42  Take this one for instance:<br \/>\n<em>A Special World<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nA special world for you and me<br \/>\nA special bond one cannot see<br \/>\nIt wraps us up in its cocoon<br \/>\nAnd holds us fiercely in its womb.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nIts fingers spread like fine spun gold<br \/>\nGently nestling us to the fold<br \/>\nLike silken thread it holds us fast<br \/>\nBonds like this are meant to last.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nAnd though at times a thread may break<br \/>\nA new one forms in its wake<br \/>\nTo bind us closer and keep us strong<br \/>\nIn a special world, where we belong.<br \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211; Sheelagh Lennon &#8211; <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis poem would be lovely to use with your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spellmaker.com\/doll.htm\">love doll<\/a>  Or just imagine using this when doing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spellmaker.com\/witch.htm\">candle magick work<\/a>, especially if you were doing work with candles representing each of you!  Oh or even during something such as a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spellmaker.com\/cleanseyou.htm\">love bath<\/a>!  It would be wonderful.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nEven if this poem is not your cup of tea, that is fine.  There are tons of them out there or write your own.  It is not that the poem is meant to replace regular petitioning, but it could certainly spice up and strengthen it.\n<\/p>\n<p>As I find more good ones, I will certainly post them here!\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLove, light, and peace,<br \/>\nMambo Samantha Corfield<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.spellmaker.com\">www.spellmaker.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/voodooboutique.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00e54edc5c688833019aff3d1228970d-pi\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Love-poems\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00e54edc5c688833019aff3d1228970d\" src=\"https:\/\/voodooboutique.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00e54edc5c688833019aff3d1228970d-320wi\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"Love-poems\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<fieldset class=\"zemanta-related\">\n<legend class=\"zemanta-related-title\">Related articles<\/legend>\n<div class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/voodooboutique.typepad.com\/spellmakernovitiates\/2012\/11\/preparing-your-petitions.html\" style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/126466563_80_80.jpg\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/voodooboutique.typepad.com\/spellmakernovitiates\/2012\/11\/preparing-your-petitions.html\" style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 80px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px;\" target=\"_blank\">Preparing your petitions<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/fieldset>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone!
