Casting Spells

it was Halloween, the moon was full
  I saw someone dressed as a witch 
 she cackled as she passed by
 I told her to jump on her broom and fly

 she  said some words  as she walked on
 I saw others in monster masks, 
 zombies roamed the streets searching for prey
 all the ghouls had come out to play

 then I saw something flying above,
 it looked like the witch I saw before
 I could hardly believe my eyes
as her cackle echoed in the sky

 
 I realized something was wrong
 When my body began to shake
 and then I began to morph
  The witch had turned me into a  goblin!

What fate she càst on you to remain a goblin, could have chosen worse I suppose, thinking things over perhaps it was lucky that it was just a goblin she could have changed you into a dragon or a giant. Very enjoyable poem Joseph.hugs blessings Jennifer

That Wicked Witch is out there casting spells again, and before Halloween. I can hear her cackling in the shadows. She's got something else up her sleeve. You better Watch Out ! This is cute, clever and creative. It's that time of year again. :) My best to you, Joseph. :) Hugs, Brandy
