Boo!!

 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 to 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've 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

  7. p.s. Also love the top graphic and agree with Reena on the font adding spookiness to it.

  14. Oh, gorgeous! What fun! How lovely to hear your voice, and you read so well. (E.g in Australia 'pissed' means drunk; the American meaning is said as 'pissed off'. But in your reading, your pause and intonation on that word make your intention perfectly clear – and, even better, without over-emphasis.) I wish you would always include readings of your poems!
