In the elliptical nights moonshine of night, a figure of lavender And aged white lace, roams amongst the rocky sea shore, a Glittering phantom of beauty most fair, walking with an essence Of smoldering evil and the smell of burnt sulfur fumes oozing Outwardly catching upon the chilling autumn air! In the bushes hear the rustling, the meowing of the felines, For this is the velvet witch the care taker of the familiars, Calls forth unto her four pawed legions, dwelling within The depths of the night, as eerie eyes pierce through the Darkened glows of the shadow realm! Glazing hypnotic orbs set in memorizing forms, glen in the Flashing moon lights fine point of the ethereal sheen, small To the large, they do so come, these creatures of the supernatural Flame, called by their Mistress the Valet Witch, of Skat County! Rubbingly, adoring at her shifts skirts of purplish hews, These cattish guardians of deaths resurrection, and evils Omens of shattered dimensions, purr with utter devotions Loyalty, to her their protector! As the last stroking of mid-night falls, a cloaked ghostly Image, stalks the hallowed hollows near a rippling lake Of lost reflections, no floating silhouette is composed From the maiden whom crosses these waters of discontent, Against these crystal clear waves of absolute calm! Hidden beneath this bewitching shroud of ancient mysticism, Echoes an enchanting voice of incantations speaking in a cat-like Tongue, casting mystical spells of worships beguiling! At the foot gates of the pet cemetery the valet Witch thus So stops in sudden motions stance, than raising her arms Upwards, she utters in words of a muffled language, To those spiritually resting within! All the winds breathe seems to cease for an instant, As orbital greenish lights raise from their entombs of burial, Floating within the waiting arms of this their honored Matriarch, this cat collector dressed in lavender and lace, The Valet Witch of Skat County! In the mists of death’s vaporous out lashing, the capped Figures shroud drops upon the soils consecrated ground, And in the night a voice whispering is heard, almost seemingly As if a soft purring lingering within this darkness fading, In the twilight of dawn first rays of light! Two by two glaring emerald eyes flash into the forests wild, Screeching in reverence respect, for their darkened mistress Of familiar has left unto the gates of the neither world beyond, The Valet Witch of Skat County. BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN-fictitious legend-Dedicated to Skat my youngest soul sister!

Hello my sweet poetic friend. I admire the poem. Moreover, I'm in joy right now, with the dedication and mention of younger soul sister. Spell chanting and hints of alliteration. I like this a lot. Read like a story, perfect for the forecast of this month. Love Skat

A perfect dedicated poem. I'm a little jealous. But, who better than Skat to deserve a witchy poem... Love it, a 7. Lavender and lace, I like that. Skat County... Better run... My dearest friend, my sister is out until Monday. If you see her account active it is I.... Sneaking and peeking her moves.... LoL... No worries she knows. I'm just letting you know, because I don't want you to think she's ignoring you. Sending hugs... Linda
