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

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.
