Wicked Webs of Weaving





Flying on my broomstick
my soul bared to the wind
though nights are warm, my blood runs cold
for all that I have sinned

my wanton ways of witchery
and days of endless thieving
these have left my soul bereft
with wicked webs of weaving

my silhouette against bright moon
draws them up in fright
the gypsies and the pirates
who trick or treat tonight

they think that I am just a stunt
a scare for Halloween
but I fly for real, their souls, I'll steal
and ugly is my scheme

through eyes of fire blazing
tonight I'll find them in their beds
bewitching scenes will fill their dreams
with shrieks of waking dead

trapped in worlds of nether spirits
too young to live, too old to die
their souls will live in shackles
as through the autumn night I fly

Golly gee, Lyra, I knew you were just too pure and innocent to be real. You're really one of us! Would you like to join WitchBitch (Marti) and I tonight and we three witchateers could scare the kiddies and take their candy! It should be lots of fun---almost as much fun as reading this absolutely delightful halloweenie pohemme.

LOL, I like this one. BTW, my cackle can be heard for miles, even when my broom is parked I am a threat.

Thanks so much, Kathy...
Did you take your daughter trick or treating?
We didn't have any trick or treaters this year.....  I think people are afraid to let their kids go out ...... how sad!
I remember having such fun on Halloween when I was a kid...
