Notes About The Poem

Pleiades 6 Contest~Sponsor: by Joseph May ~ September 23, 2023

Witch

Wicked hexing creatures
Wagging their evil tongues
while casting ancient spells
Wart faced old hags. Women
who recite sorcery,  
with newt eyes in cauldrons
Wretches grouped in covens

Thanks, Jeff. hmmm... other than it being a bewitching liqueur, I don't know if it's a type of witchy thingy

Hi Lin, This is a good descriptive piece on a witch. I could just picture the old hag, warts and all! I almost wrote about witches too. But my stubborn” muse” wouldn't budge. I think she likes Vampires lol! Best wishes in the contest-Alexis
