Sonnet Prompt ▼

A Turn Tragic, Practical Magic

In days of witchcraft yore young Maria
Danced to the tune of magic unbound
Unburden, Unleashed, roots tangled in Crimea
Proving witches of Maria’s line cursed and crowned

Down through the ages Maria’s descendants
Dared to break an unbreakable curse
Spells, potions, poultices, pendants
Still, Sally’s lover found the hearse.

Death is a heartbeat away from Jimmy’s fate
And still there is no peace for Sally’s heart
Dare she dream, dare she desire, dare she mate
With an impossible man she dare not part

A curse broken is a curse free
A haunting, a life now three
