A Witch

She's a witch,
a witch,
a witch.
She's laying there in that deep, dirty ditch.
Look at her gravel
Watch her die
Thats what she gets for her treacherous lie
We stoned her until she was very well down
Look at her bloody frown.
Says she didn't do it
but I think she did.
Cursing our people is what I bid
Lots of herbs and spices she seems to use,
her bad excuses are all but amuse.
The court found her guilty so here she lay.
Rotting in the earth forever she"ll stay
The witch is dead,
gone forever.
Some say she"ll be back
but I say never.
She's dead,
she's dead,
the witch is dead.
There she died in a blanket of red.

I have been really into witches lately. I was sitting on the couch thinking about the crap some women went through during the witch hunts. Thats where this came from.

I loved it! I love the idea of witches too. But REAL witches. Not women who were ACCUSED of being witches. Good job!

It is better to write for yourself and have no audience than write for your audience and have no self.

the rhythm and the words and the whole mood was great, but if i had to make one suggestion, it would be that quotation marks are for quotes and to try an apostrophe in lines such as "some say she'll be back" b ut i'm horrible at grammer so not holding it against you!! five stars!!!
