Mysterious Spells
bats in the belfry
jitters in my tummy
goblins, spooks and ghosts
haunting with their hosts
~
what’s a witch to do
boiling her tasty brew
this dark hallows eve
mysterious spells to weave
~
hoist my new broom
flying over the room
lost souls to find
mired in fearful mind
~
corral the black cats
unleash the hungry bats
boils, potions and knells
boldly casting my spells
~
Halloween has a long and storied history of mixing the hallowed with the haunted. This Halloween, let’s cast a hallowed spell with love and laughter in our hearts.

Loved this one Brad… especially corral the black cats, and unleash the hungry bats… 🙂
