I am a Witch

Updated: Oct 29

A Halloween poem for young and old. On Halloween look carefully, you never know which witch is real.

I am a witch, but nobody knows

I have a fierce pointy nose and short curly toes

My hair is shiny and oh so black

It reaches far, right down my back.


I am a witch with nails so long

Sharp spiky points, what could go wrong?

My fingers are bony and somewhat crooked

Like spindly twigs, they do look wicked.


I am a witch but I don’t live alone

It’s me, my cat, my kid and my phone

At the edge of the forest in a little round hut

We’re happy, crack jokes and feast on peanuts.


Peanuts you say, don’t make a feast

Come closer and try one, I’m not such a beast

Small and delicious and slightly salty

They’re much better for you than a sweet sugar lolly.


The potions I make are steamy and hot

With frogs legs and snails you can do quite a lot

I make potions for love, for good and not evil

You’re surprised I see; I’m not medieval.


Witches are real, they’re everywhere

Take a look around you, go on, I dare

On buses, in cars, in shops and in bars

They see into your soul, right up to the stars.


I am a witch; a good one you should know

A good witch inside-out, outside-in and from head to toe

Good witches make the very best things happen

It’s not a curse, it’s a blessing, it’s the happiest of weapons.


It’s Halloween and time to start working my magic

The lack of decoration on some streets is tragic

A wiz, a bang, a potion or two

Now see the spiders, dodge the webs, stir the cauldron’s brew.


The streets are busy with trick or treaters

But don’t take too much, no-one likes a looter

The kids are dressed up, mummies and daddies are too

Halloween is for everyone, young and old, me and you.


Halloween is my favourite time of year

It's so much fun and brings a good cheer

Friends, families and neighbours alike

Get dressed up and go out until night.


Some are scared of the noises

Now where’s my spell to quieten the voices

Others are scared of the costumes

Fixed with a spray of bravery into every little one’s room.


I am a witch, but you wouldn’t know

I’m a good witch with good spells on the go

So look out for me when you go out tonight

I could be the witch bringing you magic and light.
