Real cool poem w/a ghoulish twist at the end, Maureen. You're a natural at writing senryu poems, dear friend. A fine thought probing poem. Love and peace forever.

Here I was telling a story about sisters burned in a fire and the one that got away and you have to bring up witches, always witches, a woman can't cast a few spells without being labelled a witch, levitate, you're a witch, turn someone into a toad, a witch. Witch witch witch. Sigh ;)
