Three Witches
Three witches lived in Holgrovely
betwixt the town and fore the sea
one lived on lime,
one lived on thyme
and the last on a hazel tree.
The lime witch roamed the wave struck bath
the thyme witch seeped in earthen wrath
the last was she
who kept the tree
that birthed the throdden forest path.
One washed the town in sea breeze neat
One bore the town of summer heat
one looked and bade
to grow the shade
which stretched between their weathered feet
When Winter came the sea witch froze
Thyme burned in summer sun repose
but the hazel leaves
which weeps and grieves
stood still in her wrought hanging boughs
They hunt for her but never find
the witch that last is left behind
who never asked
to shoulder tasks
her sisters used to care and mind
There is one witch of Holgrovely
betwixt the town and fore the sea
she minds the waves,
the wood and staves
but ne'er forgets there once was three.
