The 12 Spirit Witches of Shudder View Mist

THE 12 SPIRIT WITCHES OF SHUDDER VIEW MIST   2019/01/20

Was the address given to us, and was betwixt
Tall trees whose branch’s looked like shadows
Lightening made them look like monsters affixed,
Hanging dead, and the immediate thunder chose
To shriek and a scream, a sound all in one
Wave after wave like a machine gun!
Tim spotted the manor, dark, which looked like hell, 
We nervously approached and rang the bell.
A grey haired woman, at least an age of a hundred year,
Opened, do come in, we are busy regaining our youth,
Stay and watch, see dark magic with babies, learn the truth!
You wrote to us, wanting to meet us, we are spirits, this fear,
She thrust a knife deep into a baby’s heart, not a sound,
Baby had been drugged, blood spilled all around,
The witches threw their bundles on the ground, 
Slurped up the blood like maddened dogs, chanting
The more important one, scooped up more blood, decanting ,
It into a bowl, we had to get out of this haunted, horrible manor,
Frenzied, I grabbed Tim’s arm and ran, throwing a spanner
Into their plans, we had been there all night, the babies would die,
I prayed fervently to Our Divine, looking high into the sky.
Tim had phoned the cops and mom and dad, dad was a tough guy,
They ran in, rescued the remaining 11 babies, and shot the witches,
Who not human, crumpled into dirt, and thrown into ditches!

What a fabulous interpretation...That is something I would never do, going to a Haunted Manor. Once again your words jumped off the page and I could picture all what was happening. You are so blessed to be able to put words together that just flow. Kim

Because you are my soul sister I trust my heart in your soul lap to empower my very soul to read your poem and dive into a mood of horror and black magic.. (because they are not my favourite.. they frighten my soul and distort my heart) You have a brave artistic heart able to climb the ladder of imagination and reach the highest rung! A poetess of precious gifts as you are dearest Jennifer! Love and hugs.

Besma, You are a wonderful soul sister - I realize this isn't your type of poetry and highly appreciate and love the fact that you commented - perhaps it was a little too horrific for the judge also she did say scary, so took a route that is not in fact my style! Love and kisses. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Hello Jennifer … Crikey! You had me looking over my shoulder a couple of times. For a spooky competition, it can't get more spookier than this - thank you Jennifer - Lindsay

Hi Lindsey, Thank you for your comment, glad I got the desired effect and you looked over your shoulder a few times! I intended it to be spooky - didn't make it though, but there always is a next time! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Wow did you get going on with the blood, screams and violence (you even had a 'Tim') You did great. One thing that may have hurt us is that we both wrote the max of 24 lines which on some devices may show as more. I don't know, but we did get our 'haunted on', and I think we did great. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

WoW! Jennifer, This is such a spooky and scary tale. It was like I watching a scary movie on tv or reading scary book. You held my attention until the very end! Excellent job. I am confident that I will see you on the winners list. I feel there's no need to wish you luck as well:-) Alexis

Hi Alexis thanks sweetie, lets see, it might be a little too blood thirsty, but then she did ask for spooky and scary! Glad that it kept you in suspense, maybe I did something right then! Loads of poetry hugs and wishes. Jennifer.

I hope not too scary Joseph but I wrote according to the requirements of the contest. So if you found it scary, maybe I'v done something right. Not quite my style but it presented a challenge for me, Poetry hugs , Jennifer.
