I like everything but the title. Not dark enough; too cutesy. --Barbara S.

: WHOO’S WOMB

: Nothing
: whets a warlock’s appetite
: like the modest bump and grind
: of a bonneted milkmaid plump with child,
: unless it’s a broomstuck witch’s thin gravidity
: --
: a spectacle as ominous and flibbertigibbet as a
: balloon
: lashed to a hickory switch.

: Nothing
: danders a November beldam
: more than dreams of autumn come
: and gone and no demon lover among the nettles,
: unless it’s her owl neglecting to talon night
: scuttlers so’s
: to feather its nest and lay.
