P.S. Awtry Poet Free verse

The Bewitching

bracelets on doorknobs
ectoplasmical goo on the floor
chanting tinkling music
lifeless creatures arranged in a circle
round a book of verse
curtains yanked from their moorings
broken glass
muddy footprint trail
undecipherable writings on the wall
books ripped apart, their pages floating on the air
drawers open their contents vomited out
closets spilling everything
all about chaos and mayhem reign in dizzying derision

What's happening?
Poltergeist or spell,
Which is it?

It's just my darling granddaughter here for a visit!

Wren Rushing October 13, 2018 at 9:13 AM Funny that something so small can do all that damage. I bet she's beautiful. P.S. GREAT POEM! P.S. Awtry October 13, 2018 at 1:56 PM she is fast! and yes, beautiful! thank you Wren

Caren Krutsinger October 13, 2018 at 6:02 AM Oh, this ending was so perfect! I can see that stuff they make out of glue all over the floor, something I have forgotten the name of, which is weird as it is totally popular right now. Cornstarch and glue, right? Have fun with your granddaughter. I wish I knew her age! P.S. Awtry October 13, 2018 at 2:08 PM no we haven't made homemade slime yet. though i did think of that stuff... here it was jelly and pudding and applesauce... P.S. Awtry October 13, 2018 at 7:28 AM Thank you Caren! She is 2 1/2 and adorable.
