Witches Pitched Against Witches

Witches pitched against witches…
Itch of teacher to tell
them the truth.
There are no brooms
in the closet,
only dupes
and solid students,
with their thoughts flying
opening their eyes for the first time,
as if reborn into a life of love and light.

The mission of a teacher is rather difficult, opening their eyes and helping them reborn into a life of love and light. The itch the teacher experiences in telling the students the blunt truth, I can well imagine as a teacher myself. Enjoyed this take on a unique theme and the humor in this, dear Kim

Yep, it is a holiday that can be taken to extremes. Needing sage leveling. All my witch friends are good ones, like Dorothy's benefactor in the Wizard of Oz.

Salem showed us a side of people that was crazy, kind of like now!! God bless you, Joe!

I'm not sure what prompted you to write this one, Kim, but I enjoyed it. Witches come in all sizes, shapes and gender.

I heard about a class in Salem. Teacher divided class in half they had to figure out which group was the witches. Turned out it was neither…exactly. But we are swayed when told to divide people. Makes you think!
