Dr.S' poem won 1st place in the Poetry Contest at the 2004 Halloween Carnival! Here is the poem, if you would like to see it: "Watch out for Witches" On Hallow's Eve as I strolled along Humming to myself a darkling song I happened upon an odd situation Involving a friend of equine inclination A Tiniquine of a dappled gray sort Was attempting to run from a witch with a wart! Her hooves struck the path with a clippity-clop But I urged her to wait with a tremulous, "Stop!" The miniature horse came to a halt While the witch looked on with eyes of cobalt "Surely this is not at all what it seems," I stated amidst the streaming moonbeams The witch then paused at hearing my word And with some spell I'd never heard She twisted and changed from a thing of disgust Into a bright lady, fair and august The gray and I looked on with surprise While the witch looked back, with sparkling gray eyes "You were right," she said with a nod and a bow "Looks are deceiving, as you know now." Speechless, I stood, with my Tiniquine friend Wondering when the surprises would end The gray, meanwhile, shook off her shock And with a shy smile, she managed to talk "I'm sorry, my lady, for running away. You see, I was scared, for 'tis Halloween today." In answer the witch simply smiled again Then faded away as if she'd not been "What an odd evening," I said to myself then For these things rarely, if ever do happen Nowadays my Tiniquine friend and I Are careful of witches when Hallow's Eve is nigh! |
