Silver Bells & Spells
Poetry Contest Description
Write a poem about what life is like as a real witch, who lives among nature in the deep forrest
Silver Bells & Spells
In the thick
of a frosted forrest
at the base
of a swollen oak tree
a snowy owl mother
nourishes her babies
a few feet away
I stand bewitched
having made it
this far
content inside
a winter wonderland
I am
in awe
the circle
of life
never
gets old
In all It’s magic
stories unfold
but left untold
It seems only fair
I mention my flair
I am witch,
and I too
live in
the forrest
Potions & spells
broomsticks & bells
I dwell, in a place
time has forgotten

Into the wood stream
From sylvan frequencies is born
All mother singing synched songs, torn
her staff bears mammal blood
I hum these words as a flood
of vital healing visions open with might
fox gloved raven hymns invoke true plight
we who are fairer than sunrays
have golden tongues kindling our ways
Knowledge covered in ferns
disguised demon dwarf yearns
a riddle for a riddle an eye
as we adorn this sky
Oh Draco I shall lay down under the beeches
awaiting silver sickled teachings
We will crown each tree a king
their hair like copper falling, sing
oh sing, Let us dwell a riverbank
a dragon's lair beseeches me as we drank
nectar falls in nine ripples gather still
we name the nameless ghost
a cats eye nebula is our host
Dellingr beloved, my vixen one
mingle blood of dawn , until
until
it'
is
done

A-hem I must contain my excitement ☺️
A-hem * cought-cought-* bravo Rianne way to set the bar! I liked how you used both rhyme scheme and almost rhyme playing off each other it worked like a well fitted glove well done.
Good luck

That boat house on the bayou
Darkness stills all moving mouths,
allows the night to feed,
cypress trees with calf like legs
dredge deep inside black water.
Daughters of the riverboats
float evening mist on silver moss
lost souls that search for candle light
fight inside the troubled murk.
Covert creatures call out names
tamed by broken legs and stones,
grown weathered as the greying slats
lapped tight to form wood walls.
Fall foul of a monsters running cry
try to conjure bold self belief
meet my bleeding unstitched lips
sip life from those who call me witch.

Witch in the wilderness
Deep in the forest,
Echoes consumed,
Chanting of evil
under the moon,
Rotting bodies of
Missing children
organs removed
Boiling in a cauldron
Living off the land,
At one with mother earth
Gathering her offerings,
To Conjure up another curse
I call up on the powers
Of witches long past.....
*Remove the chains
of time and space,
And let my spirit soar,
Let these Mortal arms embrace,
The life that haunts before*
Causing a commotion,
Sadistic with no emotion
She concocts another potion,
Wicked witch devotion

Under the Pale Moon Light
She dances naked under the pale moon light
Around the fire invoking energy from the night
And as the flames sway she prays with quite delight
The bright embers seem like dreams that take flight
And while the cinders fly off into the night air
Her body moves to the lively rhythm of the flame
Her fair skin glows along with her red flowing hair
Like fiery cascades - picture perfect in every frame
She raises her hands upward with a joyous grin
Then tilts her head upward looking up at the moon
The cool breeze caresses every inch of her skin
As her lips utter chants and ancient hallowed tunes
She listens with her heart, she listens with her soul
Every crackle is an expression of jovial and sacred rite
In the clearing amidst the forest trees there’s a threshold
Where she dances naked under the pale moon light

Grounded
Set intentions
On the eve of rain
Heaven sent
Quenched again
I dance to collect
Waters that cleanse
Encased in prism
The serum within
The found amethyst
The fount of clouds
The cards, the stars
The life abounds
In the verdancy
My spirit is found
Bonds in the paws
The blooms profound
The most practical of magics
Of hands in the earth,
The only repose known
Since the time of my birth
