WICCAN FUN
(A Pantoum)



Gather 'round my little sweets -
Cackling, Cackling, Sorceress
Time is nigh for Trick or Treats
Gainsay ye wont WickedNess

Cackling, Cackling, Sorceress
Big black bats for lamian stew
Gainsay ye wont WickedNess
Bubbling, bubbling brimful brew

Big black bats for lamian stew
Come join in my Wiccan fun
Bubbling, bubbling brimful brew
You shall see how magick's done

Come join in my Wiccan fun
Churning, Churning changelings do
You shall see how magick's done
We'll make ghouls of all of you

Churning, Churning changelings do
Closer, Closer, cauldron's call
We'll make ghouls of all of you
Halloween spooks one and all

Closer, Closer, cauldron's call
Time is nigh for Trick or Treats
Halloween spooks one and all
Gather 'round my little sweets.

Excellent Nan!  I loved the flow and form in this ... what a perfect style for such a Halloweeny piece! I could almost hear the voices around the cauldron reciting this over and over ... great fun!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

Doubly good - I think most missed the double difficulty of making a good poem a Pantoum as well -two crowns for you I say (I curse when I choose to subject myself to these repeating forms   )

Thankya Wil... *impish grin*... I'm afraid I have to challenge you to join the workshop this month then - considering your maudlin masochistic curse for repetition...
