Cursed



Woondogger Witch



there are facts that I should tell you
'bout the evil things I do
powers that I've  been granted
hexes, spells .. curses too

not every curse is evil
harmless spells exist
depends on how I’m feeling
happy, vengeful, sad .. or pissed

good spells will solve your problems
help you sleep at night
make you want to love me
squeeze me oh so tight

bad spells should you misstep
hurt me with words and deeds
I'll use potions, incantations
voodoo and magic beads

when the moon is waxing
I'm at my very best ..
I've given you fair warning
don’t put me to the test

    I'm glad, Helen, that your poet can cast a curse that isn't evil. It was a fun read, I enjoyed it to the end. Mostly, I was there for every word. I like your picture choice too, it is the best "conjuring up" picture I can remember seeing. Makes me wonder what the recipe for the brew in the cauldron is.

      Somehow I suspect that this in YOU in the picture and the lovely composition is all yours. For Halloween perhaps?

    I love the flow in this and the way that you lay out the array of curses and then delve in to a few specific ones...nicely spun, Helen!

    The rhythm and the words in this are just so very enjoyable. If you find one to send my way, I would love a good spell to help me sleep :-)
