Whimsical she-devil cackling shrieks “the last word is thine’s”, thou teach Indelible imp, encourage undermining spells versed, is what thou preach Trek thy for youthful victims, “high on your horse” ‘til thou’s scratched the itch Cursed ink is thine’s, a twig held casting expertise; an “old hand” twitch Haggard by thy deeds, torn by myne meekness, crone on a stone-cold throne

Hi Anaya, I don't how I missed this one. I was thinking along the same lines as Valsa, but I enjoyed it all the same. Have a wonderful weekend:-) Alexis

I was misled by the title. I thought it was for the Pleiades contest and thoght there is one more powerful opponent for me. I feel relieved, it isn't for the contest. Anaya, please don't think how wicked a witch I am. :))) Great acrostic dear friend.

I chose Vampire for the contest, Valsa. I needed more than six syllables to describe the Witch! No never would I think that about a poetess who has only been supportive and inspiring to me. Thank you! :)

Great images those, but I wonder why they used to have witches green? Because of Wizard of Oz? Wicked witch of the East was green, I think.. At first I thought it was for the Pleiades contest.. you describe a witch and their ways perfectly here.. The rhymes are spot on here... nice on Anaya...

First edition of the book, they were 3,000 black pigmies from the “African Jungle”. Roald Dahl rewrote them to be from “Loompaland” with rosy-white skin, golden-brown hair in subsequent editions. They had difficult tasks, I bet they were overworked! There was so much stereo typecasting Hollywood is guilty of. But it is a different Hollywood now, and I am grateful for that. Very interesting! OMG! I wrote "Mirmantha" 6/7/2022 my one inch villagers could have been from anywhere.

I'll have to research that. More on green make-up: Red hues in the face didn’t show up on TV camera. Green make-up was used because of lower-resolution. Green lipstick and rouge replaced the customary red. The camera does not record the red coloring in the human complexion ( 40’s & 50’s).

Damn, I did not know that... Did you know the original Oompa Loompa in Charlie and the chocolate factory were black people from Africa.. that is so racist!

Green looked scary and otherworldly. The original Tin Man in W of OZ (Buddy Epson) very sick from toxic make-up almost died. The Monsters were green. Not for a contest. Thank you, SO!
