Witch O' Lantern (insert cackle here)

Finally got to carve our pumpkins tonight so here’s my addition to the Halloween Challange. Every year I dress as a witch so I thought it only fitting to carve one this year.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

I’d never like to be a witch
Except on Halloween
To ride upon a bushy broom
Before a full moon’s gleam

A wart upon my crooked nose
I’d hold a big, black cat
And on my long and shaggy hair
There’d be a pointed hat

I’d drink no potions, no, just eat
Those gooey trick-or-treats
I’d get by stopping house to house
Astride my broom’s rough seat

And when the night is over
And morning streaks the sky
I’d leave my haunted mansion
And broom rides wild and high

Because:
I’d never like to be a witch
Except on Halloween
To ride upon a bushy broom
Before a full moon’s gleam

Great looking witch, Ladymf. And I enjoyed the poem, too. :-)

The nose looks like the handle of the pumpkin, repositioned. Am I correct, Ladymoonflower? At any rate, as I said before, great job.

The nose is one of those gnarly gourds

Thanks, Ladymoonflower. I was just being “nosey”. I thought it had a lot of “warts” on it for the stem, but wasn’t sure. Great idea to tuck away for next year.

Great witch, especially the nose. All these entries from last year are inspiring me to do something “spooktacular” this year.
