The Witch's Angry Potion
17 June, 2004
Author: Capricorn
The Punch is mixed! -- vile effervescent brew
unleashing foul emotions from your soul;
as evil tongues and gobs of venom stew,
you’ll soon succumb to drink and lose control.
Revenge is sprinkled with impatient spice,
obsession stirs to simmer in her pot;
disdain is poached with envy to entice
a craving lust -- imbibed while steaming hot.
Seduced, you drool and slowly swig at first,
until dependent on the poisonous cup;
then guzzle quickly,quench an urgent thirst
and feel the madness slowly bubble up.
The potion’s vicious malice starts its flow
within your veins, as hands begin to shake;
with gasping breath a toxic tongue will grow
a fiery flame, and make poor victims quake.
A throbbing fury bursts out from its shell
disgorging fervid words that scorch with pain;
transformed, your face becomes a fiend from hell
that shrieks with rage, so stirring up disdain.
The cocktail fogs your mind, but soon it clears
as venom’s drained. Belligerence will ebb;
the ugly ogre slowly disappears
and prey escapes from angers tangled web.
Normality resumes; you feel a chill
to realise your words felt like a smack.
In disbelief your sorrow overspills
towards the heart, destroyed by your attack.
Remorse outpours too late when hearts are rent
and fires of wrath die out; the witch will leave
her mischief made. Emotions fully spent,
you start to wonder -- what did I achieve?

Last Year I wrote a poem called `Rage'. Someone I know said it could do with more `teeth'. This version has more teeth! |
