One for sorrow Two for joy Three for a girl Four for a boy Five for silver Six for gold Seven for a secret never to be told

Eight for a wish Nine for a kiss Ten for a chance you must not miss Eleven for a wasp Twelve for a bee Thirteen for a coffee Fourteen for tea

Fifteen for a pencil Sixteen for a pen Seventeen to hear these options once again

Eighteen for pepper Nineteen for salt Twenty for an accident in which you were not at fault

Twenty one for Jerry Twenty two for Tom Twenty three - where are all these magpies coming from?

Twenty five no seriously Thirty this is weird Forty eight from where have all these magpies suddenly appeared?

Sixty two stop counting Seventy just run Ninety nine the revolution of the magpies has begun

Two hundred no more sorrow Five hundred no more fears One thousand for how long the empire of the magpies will last in years

I'm trying to decide on a cover for my poetry book that is inspired by Greek mythology, so...

Ever been so engrossed in a book that it is painful to go and do anything else? ...Like eat? Anyway, I'll see you after I've finished the next chapter!

Reading Mermaid (or, How To Find Love Underwater) by J.M. Farkas and Gina Triplett and Wild Embers by Nikita Gill reminded me how much I love fantasy and mythology, and that inspired me. In my poetry collection, I should play to my strengths and write what I love. So...

Idea: An overarching theme of the poetry will be myths and fantasy. Since the prompt word is vision, inspiration will be drawn from stories with a link to vision, like Narcissus distracted by his reflection or Argus with his hundred eyes.

Other ideas presented in polls will still be used.

Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments.

Honestly, graphic novels may be the best books to read with a friend.

@wizisbored, there's no one I'd rather read with.
