For our 200th poetry challenge, Marsha Ingrao picked an impressive theme for us this week. The illusion of power is a thought-provoking subject. What is illusion? Smoke and mirrors? Or…?

The only real things in life are the unexpected things. Everything else is just an illusion.

Watkin Tudor Jones

And what about the illusion of power? We equate the word “power” with the ability to influence others… OR—

“Allpoweris from within and therefore under our control.” .

— Robert Collier
