Coves of silence

Streams of tears

Stones of anger

Branches of fear

The whispering winds spread secrets about

While the shadows in the forest spread seeds of doubt

Farr off in the center there lies a house

One you wouldn't think belonged to a mouse

Decrepit old windows

Rotting old doors

Holes in the roof

Falling off porch

A figure of shadow standing there within

The decrepit old house though no body knows

Who or what this figure is

Or what her story holds.

A witch, as they called her

Would scream and shout

As she went on her way

Roundabout

Her house casting spells, casting curses and charms

With jars full of eyeballs, ears and arms

From humans, animals and even the dead

At least, that's what the legend had said.

But the populace was frightened

For her powers were unknown

And so because of this

The seeds of fear were sown.

So here her soul stays until at last

One kind, brave soul will take up the task

Of staying long enough to hear the tale of the long cursed witch, with the name of Gail.
