About Frank (Leon) Findley

Leon's Symphonette of Rings (a poem)

In a realm of wonder and mystic delight,

Magician Leon takes the stage, shining bright.

With nimble fingers and a captivating smile,

He weaves enchantment, turning moments worthwhile.

With a flourish, he unveils the linking rings,

Silent whispers of awe through the crowd, it brings.

Metal circles, separate and distinct,

But with a wave of his hand, a bond they instinct.

In his hands, a symphony of seamless connection,

As the rings interlock, defying perception.

An illusion so stunning, minds left in a haze,

As reality blurs in the magician's maze.

With each twist and turn, the rings come alive,

Defying logic, as they intertwine and strive.

A dance of metal, an intricate embrace,

Magician Leon guides with poise and grace.

Audiences gaze, wide-eyed and amazed,

As the impossible unfolds, leaving them dazed.

The linking rings, a symbol of unity's might,

As Leon's magic weaves wonder through the night.

Through his art, he conjures dreams to believe,

Inspiring hearts to question and perceive.

In the realm of illusions, Leon takes flight,

Captivating souls with pure delight.

So let us applaud, as he takes his final bow,

For Magician Leon, with his magic, wow.

In the world of wonder, he reigns supreme,

With the linking rings, a magical dream.
