The Enchantress

Posted on June 6, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

Thursday Poetry Prompt by We Drinks Because We’re Poets.

I may be in a mess
It’s might fault, I will confess
A spell I need to make
To avoid this wizard’s best

A fang of snake
A rib from dead man’s lake
The eyes of a rabid bear
Together they will bake

I will cast without a care
In magic, all is fair
That wizard will be mine
Once he steps within my lair

In the end I will be fine
I think I’ll enjoy some wine
As my new wizard builds a shrine
Worshipping me, the new divine

(Okay.  Quatrain is not my thing.)

    I like the ingredients…but I wouldn’t want to be the one who had to get the eyes

    You did a good job, I must say. Is there snake venom in the mix as well?

    Love it, particularly the last stanza that humanises and puts humor into the poem in a most charming way!! 🙂
