Clean Sweep

Three
witches
bought new brooms
which promptly swept
away the gloom that lurked in all their rooms,
removing ancient cobwebs and grey dust.
The witches wept,
fumed and fussed.
Evil
left.


·······IPB·······

Forgiveness is the fragrance
the violet sheds
on the heel
that has crushed it.

Hey Sue,

I haven't seen a tetracty in such a very long time. This one is so fitting for the holiday coming. I also enjoyed the flip how it starts as what I expected as a Halloween howler... and what you did was twist the midpoint to a sweeping away of ill will and halloween horrors...

I liked the twist on this one!

Hugs and Happy Halloween.... Liz

I also enjoyed this one very much. goodwitch.gif

I am afraid though that Sue may not respond, she's been offline since April and her email addy is no longer valid...

Perhas she will be back?
