The deepest ocean waters, dark and coldAre only to be ventured by the bold,            For out at sea, fell monsters swim,            Leviathans of woe.            Far better to sail off the rim            Than face so fierce a foe.Such fearsome beasts (or so I have been told).                                                                               |           |                                                                              For the month of October, […]

A dozen whiskers from a cat,A tail belonging to a rat,An eye of newt, a wing of bat,A dash of salt or two,An ogre’s toe, a spider’s leg,A griffon’s claw, a wyvern’s egg,And just a pinch of some nutmegComplete this witch’s brew.                                                                               |           |                                                                              For the month of October, the art supply […]

Some may consult the stars to tellThe future.  Others cast a spell.A few may use a tarot pack.Or even Asian cookies crack.For some, tea leaves this task entails.And others might consult entrails…I think I’d rather wait and seeHow everything turns out for me.                                                                               |           |                                                                              For the month of October, the art […]
