Tails - Voodoo Hex

Wooden voodoo crux
One hex on me
Burn deep beyond known
Even down, even up

Occurrence number, frequency
Of moon voodoo hex
Four gone beyond one
You never knew

Russell Sivey

Entrant into nikko palmario's "Heads or Tails" contest

Russell, Had you done a different one earlier? If so, I like this one better (but I may be mixing you up with someone else whose poem I read). anyway, this is quite the little voodoo poem! I wish you luck in the contest. With Nikko, I"ve found one can never know what to expect when she judges!

Whoah....eerie voodo hexes, Russell. Such a difficult task to write for Nikko's inventive contest. You drew me in...just don't cast a spell on me too. Best of luck...not sure I can do this contest without a tall stiff drink! haha. What is your major in grad school? Happy Hollydays...Gwendolen

What you wrote here was not easy to write. The letters in "Tails" are in so many key words. Kudos to you.
