The Witch's Garden - Moore

THE WITCH'S GARDEN

circa 1975
By Lilian Moore (1909-2004)

In the Witch's
garden
the gate is open
wide.

"Come inside,"
says the Witch.
"Dears,
come inside."

No flowers
in My garden,
nothing mint-y,
nothing chive-y.

Come inside,
come inside,
See my lovely
poison ivy."
