we are witches
we are all witches

our bonfire's a mile high
our broomsticks can make us fly
pull our stockings up mid-thigh
cackle at the passers-by

we are witches

we drink potions to ease the brain
douse the pain in hot wolf's bane
dream of all the men we've slain
to keep us young and thin and vain

we are witches

we gather memories we tether
just like sprigs of dried-out heather
we mix them in a brew together
and banish them back to the nether

we are witches

and when we've finished with the night
our coven starts to feel all right
we stagger home before first light
forgetting all about our blight...

we are witches


Wanted to write something playful like stories I read as a kid.

Not really about witches...

This is really nice; it flows rather efortlessly :)
one thing I would say (tis indeed a small thing) is where you say "wolf's bane", it's actually meant to be just one word; Wolfsbane :)
