Introduction

An Ekphrastic Terza Rima for Archibald Thorne's "A Black Cat" Challenge, which you can take part in here:

I discovered this image on the Fat Cat Art page here:

The music is "Cat Black (The Wizard's Hat)" by Tyrannosaurus Rex from the album "Unicorn"

The Little Witch, Out In The Wood With Her Broom

Her Black Cat And All His Brothers And Sisters

Following Her Under The Light Of The Moon

πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸ§™πŸˆβ€β¬›

All The Little Witch's Cats Were Black As Tar

In The Woods, They Jumped And Played With Autumn Leaves

Frollicking Under The Silver Moon And Stars

πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸ§™πŸˆβ€β¬›

Looking Up, They Saw Green Apples On The Trees

The Little Witch Smiled As All Her Black Cats Played

All So Happy And Naturally Care Free

πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸ§™πŸˆβ€β¬›

She Told Them That Black Cats Are Lucky, They Say

They Always Like To Play With The Little Witch

And Love To Go For Forest Walks Every Day

πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸ§™πŸˆβ€β¬›

Under Trees Of Apple, Sycamore, And Beech

You Will See The Black Cats As They Play With Leaves
