Warlocks, witches and wizards appear,
as they do this time every year,
exposing craggy faces, screeching sounds,
and sowing blood magic as fear abounds.
Guarding my head with pillowed quilt
hoping my craven face won’t melt!
But I cry out panicked! Horrified!
They pass me by on their frightful ride.
White-hot power rends me paralyzed
and by despair and anguish traumatized.
Terror races through my iced blood
reverberating a tortuous thud.
Ghouls and zombies teeming around
burgeoning in and out around town.
I pray to survive till sun arises
and confront no more horrid surprises.
Halloween is suitably scary.
I am vigilant, and wary.
Once-a-year is enough for me.
I savor being eerie- and freaky-free!!

Warlocks, witches, wonderful woo, mysterious superior open voo doo
Misunderstood, persecuted, notorious view, garden lovers, children advocates too
Faerie tale nonsense gave them the screw;
they are often more kind than me, thee and you.
Controllers could not get them to do what they wanted them to do,
They stood up and were counted, and lead a group to
Listen to their hearts, which is always the right thing to do.
Drowning proved they were innocent, and to that I say "boo!"
Warlocks, witches, wonderful woo

Were forgotten until Harry Potter came on the
Scene. Let me tell you his world rocks.
They have an excellent school, fantastic
Magical beasts, time turner travel, magical
Wands, house elves, extraordinary clocks,
Wear regular clothes under their robes,
As they travel the globe,
In huge ships that travel under the seas, in the
Air being pulled by beautiful winged horses,
A hippogriff, or on a broom
With plenty of elbow room.
They receive magical exploding and talking
Envelopes
As they travel the globe.
They use ordinary things for teleport keys
With no fees.
These people live in magnificent abodes
As they travel the globe.
Strong the witches circle,
around the fire, they are
dancing in ecstasy,
chanting to summon him
the powerful warlock

THE MONEY TREE IN THE WARLOCK’S GARDEN
Oh Poverty, Oh poverty, Oh poverty...
There is a money tree in the Warlock’s Garden.
Before you slept, you wish for a better way.
Your mother is sick and your father is dead.
Do well in school and live for a moment.
Your poorness will disappear because you have been chosen to remove bad faith
and bring luck upon you.
Do not ever say it is not a blessing.
The thought will bring disaster.
Your magnifier is your mind in thought.
Exemplary, your ideas are.
If you are now in a scrape, don't be the condemner of your faith.
Good I am to those who know a truthful way.
The Money Tree is in the Warlock’s Garden.

The Unicorn In The Warlock’s Garden
Majestic, magical, and grandiose
The Unicorn, as Sabian Baldwin, II
stood with his head thrown back, as in a fuss.
In the Warlock’s Garden, stands his father.
Sabian was on a mystical flight
for his powers to form, which he did not
know anything of. He would be surprise
of rituals to come from his father
to reveal Sabian’s métiers of good health.
The night shined bright and the pursuits would dine.
Sabian’s father would divulge his essence.
“Proclamation is now in that my son
Sabian is the Unicorn in [this]
Warlock's Garden. Sabian will transmute.”
