The magic shop was thronged

In response to the sale.

Packed full of faces, 

many beyond the pale.

Searching for that formula

an extra special spell,

with some ‘being’ unfortunate

to hear the death knell.

The good witches were silent,

looking here and there

for their simple concoctions,

trying hard not to stare.

No sparring glances

with the dark sorcerers 

creepy gaze

as they towered aloft

wrapped in mystic haze.

Two sides to everything 

green versus black hood,

‘tis the ongoing battle 

of evil against good.
