Poem 19. THE WITCH

Inspired by DanN's work

I saw you hitting me again, my peer
Ah, this shouldn't be happening again.
Alas! I have claimed my old broomstick
'Tis the one I am waiting for, my wish
The strength I lost, I have it now
No more tears, I won't bow down
I won't pass through the dusty road
My old broomstick is just so good
Just like before it'll carry me
Fly me away, make me so free.
Who would say that I can go?
I'm once a witch, they do not know.
Yes, I can. I can fly high
I am that witch  who won't just die.
Oh, 'tis my dear broomstick, 'twill carry me
Fly me away, this witch's now free!

I think this poem is about misjudging and bad conceptions where it is all relative whether they call you a witch or bad names you know the truth about them and yourself and don't give a flying stuff about their wicked opinions for you are free from criticism and hurt...Bravo

Wow! Glad you can relate to this piece. Thanks for the visit, Sami.

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome...:)

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

That was a fun read, inspirational as well, a kind of I will not give up statement.

[Dhaye]

Ha ha! You're funny, Cowboy. That was fun and inspirational for you but you don't want to make a statement. LOL. Thank you so much for being funny...for dropping by, I mean.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

I didn't mean I don't want to make a statement, I mean your poem was a statement of I will not give up.

[Dhaye]

Ahaha. I'm sorry. I have read your comment in a haste. My poem was an "I-will-not-give-up" statement. Yes, it is. Again sorry and thank you.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

No problem, you are welcome.

Is it something like a house wife that keeps the house clean and then her husband abuses her and all she needs is her skills to start again and find and make another home with someone else.

[Dhaye]

Haha! I beg to say a big NO for your comment. I love my family so much. It's just that, some people don't understand having a different company doesn't mean you are aspiring for romance. No man is an island. Wherever you go, you need an ally...but it doesn't mean being close to him/her has a different meaning. I am a person who knows well who am I and where should I stand. If people misunderstood me, then it's not my fault.

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Well, it is a fantasy poem style with words used as a vehicle to fly.

[Dhaye]

Nope. That's a metaphor of a woman who have been hurt by others' misconception and is now trying to get away with the trouble by using her strength and skill.
Thanks.

So then people see her, the character in the poem as a witch that needs a manufactured broom and not as an angel that has holy wings.

A great notion into metaphor, well written. Bewitching thoughts, o huwag lang maging aswang.

[Dhaye]

Thanks, Sir Ency. You're right, it's a notion to metaphor inspired by a friend's work. Actually, I have started it in some of my works.

[Ency Bearis]

That's nice then.
