Stone.

A quick piece to compete with!

The only destination bound against her windowpane,

That spirit bound by power and blood,

Her life force a crafted memory witches,

Hail, the seeker arise from the family flood.

Call forth the circle of sisters four,

Arrangements now met for a spell to rise,

Gather close you devils and lets rip him,

Reading from a book of skin the real prize.

Faith comes and goes in washed waves,

Spring time harrows hell and signs no,

Come now women of strength invoke thee,

A clever little pun from stone it does grow.

Be honest and open.

Hi Thomas,

Interesting. I've read several of your poems. They seem to have a dark edge. That is a good thing. Some of them rip into the mind with blood curdling anguish, without a knife, without the handle, without the blade. The Impact is important. It it still there. Have a great day. Earl

thank you Earl, I do love the shock factor when I write.

[nastassia]

I appreciate the depth and darkness in your writing.

There is always so much action in your poetry. So much going on it confuses the mind and hits the soul. I wish I was better at puns, but my brain refuses to find a solution. Enjoyed the read!

[Troy Henson]

Thought provoking and mysterious. Fantastic imagery along with some cryptic twists. Thank you 😊

[Kenneth The Poet]

Paganism showing her teeth, I think. The Druids being coercive. What else is there?

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Whatever you need there to be, thank you.

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

Very descriptive and cryptic to me...nice work.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Thank you.

[Usman Muhammad]

Thank you Usman.

This has the feel of an incantation...very eerie and haunting. The sound of it is marvelous, even though I am not quite clear on the full meaning. Seems to me that it is more about mystery, the spell words cast, and the intrigue of delving in to let the imagination go wild. Good job with 10 words! Always interesting to see what each writer comes up with and how they bring the words to life!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Thank you.

You totally lost me on the reasoning of this one. Valentine

A competition that gives you 10 words and asks you to create a piece around them!

[Ruth]

I really like the fact that the underlined words could be read as a poetic piece in themselves :) Mystery lies within this and a clever tone :)

Thank you doll.
