Witch's
Their cackles will raise your hackles
called laughter
but isn't funny
goosebumps and chills
such a haunting sound
reminds all that
the devil's evil abounds
and her appearance
is so out of sorts
her green skin and brown warts
an ugly sight
scraggly hair, missing teeth,
red bulging eyes,
doesn't lend confidence
not this Halloween night
don't point or draw attention
for her cruse may be real
if you catch her watching
she's sizing you up
it might seem like fun
but it's masquerade night
and those in costume
are the ones hiding
but the witch
is locked onto you
and only morning will tell
for it's dawn when you'll know
if her curse worked well
for you'll be alive
and not floating face down in the
well.
