Potluck Poetry...Week 10

This weeks potluck theme is

Magic & Miracles, Wonder & Wizardry




 
Cold dark moor
Spider and Rat
Scrying over crystal ball
 Witch and Cat

Fairie lights lantern
Gnarled bough of tree
Frog chasing Goblin
By pond on knee

All wonder and magic...
Of spell being cast
Call forth the blessings...
Of ancients past

Crone and sidekick
 Swirling misted hill
 Muttered incantation
  Bend ones will

Bubbled brewing potion
 Cauldron over fire
Chanting of ingredients
 Flame grow higher

Eye of newt
 Slime of snail
Festering fungi
Earwig tail


Fang of snake
Wing of bat
Fruit of nightshade
Powdered Gnat

Stir counter clockwise
Stir by three
Spirits whisper wisely
Come now to me

Mystical imaginings
Fortunes told
Cross my palm my pretty
For just a  piece of gold


This is my entry for Potluck Poetry week 10

  2. Agree with Annie, it's nicely written. Very occult... to mention Harry Potter would be demeaning because the quality of your actual poetry, when I look with an aesthetic eye at the words and their juxtaposition, is high. Who cares what the theme is

    Cheers!
