The Sanderson Sisters

Limerick poems for the 13 Poetic Days of Halloween Contest 2025

Winifred

Winifred, the eldest of the three
quite tricky and powerful is she
finger's lightning sparking
her hexes are marking
ones who cross her path unwittingly

Mary

Mary, funny and caring she is
at smelling children, she is a whiz
never goes ballistic
such a gentle mystic
her brew is like a magical fizz

Sarah

Sarah, a foolish lass she can be
it seems she is about me, me, me.
but she can be quite fun
she is sure not a nun
casting her spells while singing sweetly
