Simmer, simmer, boiling dinner

Incantation of olde

Lizard tails and tortoise shells

Eyes of newts and toads

Noxious brew, delightful stew

Cast a spell of SILENCE

Effuse your charms, but bring no harm, to these children of defiance

    This is fantastic! The flow and rhyme gave it that bewitching feel and that last line hit hard and humorously at the same time!

    A splendid prelude to fall's activities. Loved your acrostic poem - worthy of the great Bard himself. "Double, double, toil and trouble...."

    This is great, a unique take on the challenge and you answered my question. I wondered if we could use the word SILENCE in the Acrostic Poem.
