A Walk with Witches

along the path
the witches cast a spell

a serpentine enchantment,
burrowed lairs

portend the doom of travelers past –
dare I?

Freewrite-40Day-1100-(Facebook-Cover)-(1280-x-780-px)-(25).png

ignore the dark and trust
the golden light

until the sparkles beckon me

to vistas glory
where the witches freeze

abandoned toadstones

still the water charm

while the witches' spellbound
familiars guard

IMG_4917.jpg

IMG_4922.jpg

IMG_4927.jpg

a captive shadow self
his wish is peace

IMG_4851.png

adventure just begun
I drift along

All photos for this post were taken on the Humptulips River in Humptulips, Wash.

The verse is written in iambic pentameter, with a few variations here and there.

The birds are cedar waxwings.

Thanks for viewing!

And so I followed the witches downstream
Away from the flooding eyes
And human spies.

What a beautiful place to get lost in 🔆
