Her sorcery-cloaked sisters come seeking her spells.
The Sea Witch asking for
An ocean tempest for a prince’s doom and
A mermaid’s voice.
The Ice Queen willing
To pay for a shard to pierce an eye and
Freeze a heart.
The Enchantress in need of
Gloom and rain to seal a merchant’s fate and
A daughter’s loss.
Stirring storms of fire and ice,
Water and wind,
Shadow and light,
The Weather Witch obliges.
Chanting
Meteorological incantations, she conjures
Cold nights for lost children and
Dry wastelands for sightless lovers,
Sea squalls to drown sailors and
Blizzards to blind travelers.
Her cauldron brimming with
Gale and flood, she speaks the spells
Her sisters seek. Brewing
Air and atmosphere,
The Weather Witch obliges.
