Surprise!

A while ago at school we had a scholastic writing competition. I hate writing. So when I found out I could write a poem instead of a story I was all for it. Until I heard it had to be at least 35 lines. But I made myself do it and it turns out... I was picked to be in the contest! It was a total surprise! :D

Witch’s Brew

More minutes slowly tick by and by,
And soon it’s the witching hour my, oh my.
I can hear the floor above me creaking,
And the sink below me slightly leaking.

Stir; stir the witch’s brew,
Watch out she might be coming for you.

I see a dark shadow walk slowly by,
Then something mysterious up in the sky.
I look more closely to wait I see,
And get the urge to suddenly flee.

Stir; stir the witch’s brew,
Watch out she might be coming for you.

I run outside onto the street,
And here behind me a single heart beat.
I can see the wind run through the trees,
And feel the shaking of my knees.

Stir; stir the witch’s brew,
Watch out she might be coming for you.

I turn around to what is there,
And could not help myself but to stare.
What I saw was a complete surprise,
I just could not believe my eyes.

Stir; stir the witch’s brew,
Watch out she might be coming for you.


Standing there great big and tall,
Was the silliest witch of them all.
Her hair was green with purple lights,
And her legs were covered with sparkly tights.

Stir; stir the witch’s brew,
Watch out she might be coming for you.

She wobbled when she walked towards me,
And handed over a golden key.
I took it from her wrinkly hand,
She said it was for a magical land.

Stir; stir the witch’s brew,
Watch out she might have a gift for you.

She lifted up her magic wand,
The key transformed into a magical pond,
It wasn't what it really seemed,
I woke up to find that I had dreamed.
