Where Witches Roam

Wind of History by Jacek Yerka
Pic prompt courtesy of The Mag 156


where witches roam
a wind enchants
draws victims to
clawed spellbound rants
and waves, they roll
in and out ... in and out
they cause a hole
inside cold hearts
a cauldron seeps
a rage disturbed
a horror steep
so stay away
from haunted homes
where witches roam
and words don't sleep

    I like the repetition of in and out...in and out and love the last four lines.

    both pic & poem remind me somewhat of my childhood home - repetition reinforces the witchy spell well, and for me, the relentlessness of "words [that] don't sleep"...

    well done!

    'Where words don't sleep'- I guess
    that would be true for spells!
    (I am still having trouble getting
    here- I couldn't from your name or picture, when you visited me !)
