Poet Sapphic stanza

Sabbat

Chanting witches stirring the magic potion,
Cackling, dancing, spinning and wildly leaping,
Naked, frenzied, writhing and fortune telling:
Night of the Sabbat.

How interesting this write really is! I love how you have the witches as half crazed ditzes doing weird things and being nude, frenzied and even "fortune telling" All of this due to the fact that it's the, "Night of the Sabbat." Crazy! Great Work!!
