Holding For a Witch

Orange pumpkin man Holding a broom for a witch He bows to her strength Beyond his control, her spells Which confound his large carved face Russell Sivey

the witches broom, it holds the score, dodge persecution, yet some once more, witching spell could close the door, large carved face confounding...:)

liked this, very vivid. "his large carved face" is a great phrase, simple and solid and captures the mood and meaning so well. "confounds" should be "confound" if the subject is "spells", as I assume it is.
