Behold the power, I keep in my hands

Many battles won, my magic, grand!

Villagers come, they seek, no doubt

Their wishes granted, but not without

A promise, to me, they must vow to make

Lest they feel the pain, make no mistake

Into toads, they will change, of this I exhort

I’ll add them to my own human wizard warts

The ones I use freely, to cast dastardly spells

I’ll grant no more wishes, they shall be quelled

Take heed, before journeying, through my land

You’ll feel cruelty, not pity, under my command

For this week’s challenge, Colleen has chosen Color and Creepy as the prompts.  But there’s a catch!! #SynonymsOnly!  Rules can be found at the link below!  Have fun!

Soon
Spirits
Will awaken
White, cloaked, alive
Halloween shows life
Eerily, they float near
Unearthly beings scheming
Awaiting the moment when you
Your guard down, allow them to enter
And the blood red of your face disappears

Shiver and Quiver – #OctoberWriting #OctPoWriMo #poetry

Come take a ride on my broomstick

Meet my precious cat, Mr. Quiver

We’ll turn your head, round and round

Upside down, make your whole body shiver

Throw in some jack-o-lanterns

Light the candles, watch them flame

The goblins in the graveyard

They’re writing numbers, taking names

I will tell my tale this Halloween

About the time I caught your eye

And how you fell for my greatest plan

I’m so sorry that you had to die

Your time has come to a dreadful end

On the gravestone, etched in black

Your name and, yes, the date you left

Safe to say, there’s no turning back

Nature blooms sweetly

When earth and water unite

In a single breath
