The Cobweb Cloaked Coven – #OctoberWriting #OctPoWriMo #poetry

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”. This is a wonderful photo for the Halloween season! You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you. More info can be found in the link below.

I watch, perched high in yonder tree, as she creates this spell of mystery; she’s chosen from her favorite book, some herbs thrown in, perhaps to cook. And when it finally starts to dance, its flame of colors, indeed, entrance; this humble owl, whose eyes glow bright, it’s bewitching hour, on this ebon night. There isn’t time to be discreet, just taste the nectar, salty sweet; then wait to see what you turn into, when you imbibe, on a witch’s brew.

She’ll turn you into eye of newt

Or perhaps a fuzzy kiwi fruit

Or maybe a frog, with luscious legs

Or even a hen, to lay some eggs

Perhaps the wing of an errant bat

Or a bowl of milk, for her black cat

She’ll turn you into what she wishes

And you can bet, you’ll be delicious

Colleen has given us the words Haunt and Spell for this week’s challenge. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry! I used Spirit and Incantation. 🙂

A
Spirit
Dwells here
Ever present
Amongst the living
Bewitching in its charm
It catches one off their guard
And terrifies the weakest soul
With an incantation, it takes you
Now you only exist to plague this Earth

She starts with a single thread
Carefully, weaving her loom
Intricate lines connected with ease
For those dropping by, certain doom

Several come calling, about her
None too quickly, do they escape
Caught in the strands of the webbing
She has carefully spun and draped

She has trapped so many before them
Even more know her clutches too well
A spider will always outfox her prey
When she captures them, under her spell

Quietly, creeping down through the hall
Silently listening, for those who would call

Knowing, exactly, what the arch kept hidden
This was a place, out of bounds, forbidden

Trembling, hoping she wouldn’t be caught
Leaving this life, no longer distraught

Tiptoeing, body against the wall
She listened, to hear their rapturous call

The winds that whirled, between the columns
Left a feeling of peace, serene and solemn

This place she came to, seeking freedom
To baptize herself, be rid of these demons

Awaiting the ones, who had nearly awakened?
She knew it was time, she would not be forsaken

She could speak the covenant, a spell on her lips
People would stare, frightened, transfixed

Admonished, for uttering such foolish words
Town folk, gasping, when they overheard

Never understanding why they would say
A young girl shouldn’t ever speak this way

Perhaps this is why, she wasn’t allowed
To speak of this space, to never avow

That, which has drawn her here, so oft
The songs of the chosen, in the air, aloft
