Introduction I love this image, a witch of autumn and her cats. This is a Cyrch A Chwta, a Welsh poetic form that you can read about here:
With your last breath You became more valuable in death than in life A land left in strife A robotic mourning wife Yet, in the haze of your final days

Introduction This is my sixty-eighth piece inspired by Angie Livingstone's inspirational artwork. I love the beautiful autumnal colours in this work.
Pen to paper The space between Felt plucking at fibers Creates a melody As if the pen were a wand Waking a sleeping sheet from slumber
We flush essentials down the drain, Only half-truths get repurposed. Where does the waste go When it can no longer be shoved,
Be careful with guardians of the heart For they will keep you apart Vexation of supposed protection A misdirection of feelings
I eat myself to feed my soul I roll with every toll Time laid out ahead and behind me Thoughts creating and destroying the fallacy of my reality
The rain slithers across the plain The lion feigns disinterest in his mistress Mysterious visitors A horrendous sound shakes the ground
Light loves to teach darkness subtle lessons In French, even insults contain music Mistakes in the dark create happy sons

I take thy mantle, answer the call To face the darkness swirling within; Let ink stand witness—let the blackness fall I call the pool; abyss—reveal thy skin
