Pleiades No.6.Poetry Contest

Sponsor- Joseph May

Witches are wizened hags
With long nose and loose hair
Wart nosed ugly spirits
Wicked ramblers of night
Who ride on bristly brooms
Wielders of black magic
Weird sisters in Macbeth

Macbeth! I love that you mentioned that! how descriptive is this! A pleiades on witches never sounded so beautiful before! Im in awe really made me make some faces too just thinking of how nasty they look! Yikes! Wicked witches so well depicted! Thats the power of words and how creative and talented poets like you could evoke such strong emotions! I wanted to use hag too but didnt uv used it well! Im sure this is a 1st! So good! Goodluck. And I admire your ability to write on various subjects

Love it! Delightfully spooky. On the positive side: They make appealing great ginger bread and luscious looking apples:) And brooms don't pollute! Big supporters of the Green new deal, for travel and makeup. Best of luck in contest, this poem is certainly a contender. Blessings my friend.

Wickedly chilling, Valsa. A reference so clever, did you know that the witch's broom is from a deformity of a tree branch? I find a little bit of humor in wart nose line. Great entry!

Wizened hags, such true words.. Your take on this contest is very descriptive and a very good use of words beginning with W... I've seem some great poems for this contest and yours is up there with the best, I think Joseph will have a tough time picking winners..

Dearest Valsa, how perfectly you have captured these "wicked ramblers of night" -"wielders of black magic" -with their broomsticks and warts! I love the Macbeth reference. Great expose on these purveyors of the black arts! This is perfect for the contest. You do have a way of getting to the heart of a subject and wrapping it in a spell of pure poetry, dear friend. Blessings to you! Best wishes for the contest. I love the way your creative heart expresses any subject.
