a silly little keats rhyme..from a while back
made some changes..


Witch of black magic, they think she's a fool
Wearing black beads, and magical chimes
in cloak of night, practicing voodoo
Inside a circle,  candles and toadstools
singing and chanting, voodoo rhymes
a  secret collection of puppets and pins
Mixing her potions, a dash of bamboo

Mixing into your tea, she watches and drools
Turns you into a zombie, in a matter of time
Dancing and playing, the tomboula drum too
She puts you in a trance, making you spin
stalking the cemetery,in the moonlight
While under black magic, you will smile and grin
Because you know it is better, then a vampires bite




A poem is never finished, only abandoned.
- Paul Valery (1871-1945)

Victoria, intrigued by ''Voodoo'' and its origins, I found this to be a rewarding read. It spins with that trancing spirit!
