A simple coal left unaware
a rush of wind to beware
defiant now, I lift my chin,
breath of fire, dragon's grin.
Rattle of the witch's dance,
greet this moon upon the wax--
Hecate she will dance in me,
I cast the bones,
I set me free...
Temperance may now be damned--
slash and burn upon the land...
nothing now to understand...
sparking flame of glory's hand...
Guardians, I call on thee,
whispered cries eternity,
escape my soul,
love's reprimand,
may this plea
be as command--
my will, thine will--
So mote it be.


(an edit, to change ONE LETTER...I mispelled "temperance",  imagine that...lol...)

By the powers of three times three, make them see, make them see...
Wonderful wiccan story of an aching heart.
Well done

Ok, I’m trying to write this without using any puns…here goes.
Its nice that no one misinterpreted your poem.  I know how that feels.  
There has been a wave of innovative themes and designs, I don’t know what started it, but I hope It continues.  Haha, no puns!!
