Question: Here is one, I am pressed for time, will you answer!?
She pounded on the door
In hopeless hope that one would answer her
The night grew in about her
But each house
Turned her away
The ones who had BOASTED
Charity
Humanity
Holy sanity
And love
Fell away to vanity
Her own said that she
Was not
Their own
And in all this she had no thought
Of where to go
What to do
How to find the way out
When all she wanted
Was in
And then
There was the coven house
She had been warned
But warnings fell away to absolute
Complete
And desperate-
Desperation
So there she went
And there she found
A home
A house
A life
And hope
No judgment
No vanity of self
Only the acceptance
And escape from those who would slay her
For being nothing
But herself
A witch
In love
With a saint
I wrote this on the spot, not having time to edit or look over too much… but when inspiration strikes its fowl yet found blow, I must obey and scribe their story…

This is an excellent story with some wonderful, insightful imagery!.From "The night grew in about her" to"But warnings fell away to absolute" and on to "A witch in love with a saint", this poem has a depth of meaning that i found enchanting!.

Are you going to make another witch sires!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
This is excellent!. You are, above all, a superb story teller!. You kept me, line by line, eager to discover what will happen!. I find it ironic that this, which you describe as ex tempore, exhibits perfection in both grammar and spelling!. But then you revert to your previous sins!. "fowl yet found!." Could you have meant "foul yet fond!?"
By the way, the change of name has been noted!. It seems like things are getting brighter in your life!. If so, I rejoice in your good fortune!. [But I still won't let you slide on the spelling!.]Www@QuestionHome@Com
They welcomed her,
the fledgling witch,
into their coven home!.
Her eyes flitted
across the stairway,
a goddess,
so she thought,
descended!.
The beautiful witch Eva!.!.!.
the witch gave her name
as Siren
Sorry, thought it might make an interesting prequel to the dying witch series!. Hmmm, food for thought!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
