Witch

She cast her spells with words in rhyme And turns a prince into a frog From his castle he disappears And now he croaks upon a log! She seeks the youthful looks she once had And puts a princess in deep sleep In either case a kiss is needed To break the spell that runs so deep On Halloween her cauldron boils With a brew she knows so well She flies across the moonlit sky Ready to cast her magic spell ~

That Wicked Witch is always Casting Crazy spells. Perhaps, she'll meet her match, and he'll change her into something Creepy. It's that time of year again, for haunting poems. My best to you, Joseph. Hugs, Brandy

Usually they change a frog into a prince but this spell seems dark and creatively poignant. Excellent write i truly enjoyed reading. Loving those internal rhymes too. My favorite line is the opening. Words in rhymes as spells. Intriguing

Hope we won't fall under her spell ! Imagine we being turned into some loathsome creatures! Enjoyed your poem with references to the fairy tales, dear Joseph!

That witch who is very much disliked by every little girl. Including big girls like me. Lol. A fun and lovely write, Joseph. I Very much enjoyed it :)

The least she could have done was turn him into a stallion, or a lion, but a frog? Humiliating

You described her perfectly, Joseph. She is a magical presence in many stories, as you so well illustrate.
