Witch

Cauldron's boiling
Fire's burning
Smoke is slowly twisting,turning
A pinch of this, a dash of that
Upon my head, a withces hat
I close my eyes as magick flows
Around me quick the darkness grows
Ancient words escape my lips
The power of my soul it grips
Shallow breaths escape me now
Beads of sweat upon my brow
I cast a spell into the night
A burning power I can not fight
Up from the ground dark shadows rise
A hint of mischief in their eyes
Moaning, groaning they take flight
Into the darkest, moonless night.

Lovely imagery. Feels so within reach.

Love it!! Living in Mass, here, I grew up around the horrors of Salem and also around the coolest people ever that are in covens. I've written a few witch poems, myself, but I really love reading this one..... imagining this sort of beat progressing, and building, as... it reminds me of that building anticipation Willy Wonka let us experience going through that tunnel on his boat!! In your poem, I could hear the leaves crunching, grunts and whistles chiming, and voices coming in and going out. I've been there for some of it. Great poem!! xoxo -Mark

Classic, contemporary imagery. It's bounces along quite nicely with only one little typo (withces hat --> witches hat); discounting the various spellings of magic~magick~majyk, etc.. The rhythm reminds me of the Oath of the Green Lanterns. All in all, a nice little poem! :o)
