Ooooh, not sure I want to stay and visit at this abode.
But I am old and a little tough, well fat too.
This verse is well done, not sure if I have seen many of this style.
Good wishes on the publication!

I don't think anyone else on Fanstory writes these. There used to be one other writer who did a few, but she no longer posts here. Thank you--hope it wasn't too scary~Debbie
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Well, we all enjoy a dip in the hot tub, but this tub looks a bit TOO hot for me! LOL! Good use of the form with a holiday theme. Cute, humorous, and not gory (but not too tasty, I hope!)

Glad you enjoyed. The upper class Japanese wrote tanka and those with little education made fun of then with their more humorous kyoka. Thanks so very much~DEbbie

This is a fun poem, Debbie. It's perfect for Halloween. I loved the picture of the witch stirring the pot. That was a perfect touch to go with the poem. Great Job!

Comment from vkmack
I believe this is my introduction to kyoka. Really interesting form. Thanks for the notes on this one.
Onward. I got a real kick out of it. This made me think of childhood Halloweens and the chants of "witches" on that enchanted night. The last line was a nice little morsel in itself--a great surprise.
Congrats on the publication! Wonderful news.

Comment from JM daSilva
Oh, witches, you got me thinking of Macbeth.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake.
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and owlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
