Day 8: And now for our prompt (optional, as always). Let’s take a leaf from Shelley’s book, and write poems in which mysterious and magical things occur. Your poem could take the form of a spell, for example, or simply describe an event that can’t be understood literally. Feel free to incorporate crystal balls, fauns, lightning storms, or whatever seems fierce and free and strange. Poetry is like that (at least when you’ve been reading Shelley!) If you’re in search of inspiration, maybe you’ll find it in this poem by Louis Untermeyer, or this one by Kathleen Graber.

The below poem is actually inspired by my favourite movie called “The Craft” & I would like to dedicate my poem to this movie. 😊  The below image of four girls practicing witchcraft is of the movie “The Craft”.

Sisters Of East & Their Spell!

Finally, It was for this very day,
They been waiting for years,
All set for this day, even the weather was favourable,
Sisters in east ready to cast their spells to preach.

Dark black clouds spread the sky,
Thunder, lightning too was clearly visible,
The four girls stood in circle inside a circle of candles,
Around the fire that was in the centre, near a beach.
