Opal Spells

Her allure blooms in musty shops
Held on silver bands of celtic lores

A foretelling of ancient paths...

Of twilight-caught scarlet raindrops
Of visions gleaned through fateful doors

Of spells whispered to Welsh hilltops

A mystic gem on Wiccan staff
My opal of demure witchcraft

Caren Krutsinger Date: 5/15/2019 11:32:00 PM This is such a favorite for me especially this part: "A mystic gem on Wiccan staff My opal of demure witchcraft...." Poor Line having to judge this one! Login to Reply Michelle Faulkner Date: 5/16/2019 11:31:00 AM Thanks, Caren (it was the Wiccan line in your poem that got me on that track -)
