Magic Mirror Pieces

The magic mirror Many years of vicious use Lays shattered The evil witch of Hollow Street Cries now like a little baby The magic lost The power of the ages Now in pieces She picks them up One at a time as tears drop Then power ensues An ancient power comes to life Where a single piece carries spells With the single piece She now continues her terror Hope is now lost Russell Sivey Entrant into Gail Angel Doyle's "Picking Up The Broken Pieces" contest 10/20/2012

an round n round the curses go, beneath the ancient miseltoe, little mirror faces show, the cursed the cursed yet cursed, do flow

I added your piece on the bottom of my verse, you commented on:) "As curses do go, they lose their flow, when they come around, to my abound, its a safe blow,"
