The NaPoWriMo, day nine prompt,asks us to write a concrete poem;a poem that takes the shape of the theme of the poem.I wrote this poem last year as part ofThe Coven of Obscurity series but never posted it.Please visit my blog to see the proper version.
He went
for a walk
in the village
and took the curve
in the road ahead.
It was lit in frosted
streetlamps; he was
curious where it led.
The road meandered
through dense forest,
the woods were dark
and overgrown. In the
distance he heard a
cackle and feared he
was not alone. Nearby
he saw a sign, nailed
to an old oak tree.
The sign warned:
this road belongs
to the witches
from the Coven
of Obscurity!
All trespassers
will be cursed
three by three!
Suddenly he
recalled the
folklore his
grandmother
told; the story
of six deadly
witches who
once cursed
the curve
in the
road!
So bewitching, this curving text–my eyes keep pulling me down toward the inevitable!
