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 nutmeg
Complete this witch’s brew.

For the month of October, the art supply store at which I work is doing their own variation of Inktober (an artistic exercise wherein participants draw something every day for 31 days). Essentially, it is the same thing, but with different prompts and its own name. While I certainly know my way around pens and ink, this year I’ve decided to participate via poetry. Each poem this month will be based around that day’s prompt, which will serve as its title. For a complete list of prompts, please see the post “A Black Cat Crosses Your Path” from October 1.
