Kate

A Poem by Damien Thibodeaux
"

A Southern Gothic Sonnet

Kate


There’s a beast in Robertson County wood

For two-hundred years her legend’s been told

At Red River Cave an entity stood

Curse of revenge on the Bell family fold


Torment hath come to suffer the living

“Now sayeth thy name, thou cold-hearted b***h”

A voice with no form, all it was giving

“Kate is my name. I am known as the witch”


In the sleepy cornfields of Tennessee

There’s spells to be done before it was gone

Brutal attacks the witch put on Betsy

And poison was used to kill father, John


She promised return after seven years

In one-hundred-seven, there’s more to fear

Author's Note

Damien Thibodeaux
Growing up in Tennessee, this was the ghost story told around campfires. Only it's not myth, the Bell Witch is history.

Trivia: This true poltergeist story inspired the movie, "The Blair Witch Project."
