   This was lovely poetry in response to Brenda's prompt, "Beginnings" penned by John Hansen. Here is the link to his poetry:

   I feel happy and hopeful that the man sought out a gipsy's love potion and spell to rekindle his love with the woman of his life. This was fantastic poetry writing, as always.

   Wonderful John. There is imagery, love, and of course, that mystic story of a gypsy with the crystal ball that makes your poem enchanting to read. Thanks for sharing this wonderful response to Brenda's prompt "beginnings".

      No crystal ball...tarot cards.
      
      But his story is magical too.

   Oh John, I love this story and poem. I smiled and giggled all the way through. It's so romantic and hopeful. It makes one believe in potions, magic, gypsies and of course, love. Thank you, John. Very, very well done! Thanks, Rosina, for sharing.

      Hi, Jan. I am glad this one had you giggling and gave off a happy vibe. I tried to give hope that love can begin again and can become “ever after.” Who can’t use the help of a little Gypsy magic?

   John, I loved this fairy tale. The pace and rhythm are perfect. I was wondering if (knowing you) there would be a "gotcha" at the end.

      Thank you for enjoying my “fairy tale” Linda. You know I like surprise endings…..nut not sire if this one is a “gotcha” moment. Hope that wasn’t too disapointing.

   John
   In your poem, "The Love Potion ~ New Beginnings" you tell us how you search out a Fortune teller to create a magic potion.
   
   You want a love potion to renew those feelings again.
   
   You feel like somethings been missing.
   
   You go home & cook a dinner for two.
   
   Secretly spiking your wine glasses, you wait for the magic to begin.
   
   John...as you said in your article, you and Ravi have similar ideas ~ that often happens.
   
   But...you both wrote and posted them on the same day too.
   
   So not only do great minds think alike, they work at the same time.
   
   No worries though...each one is unique.
   
   I love the idea of a love potion to spark those new beginnings.
   
   Great write.
   
   I'll post a link in the word prompt article.
