Bewitchings and Birthdays

Oh, grumble!  I made a slight mistake yesterday:  I accidentally switched SiS/Few Miles' prompts for yesterday and today.  Yesterday I should have posted a haiku (5/7/5, of course) using the word, 'Grumble' and today should have been the 'burning love' poem.  Oh well...I did goof up, but now I'm correcting that little 'oops'.

Additionally, Monday's Child posted the prompt of an adorable illustration by Jutta Ash, so that's appearing here today, too.

Three Witches from Macbeth by Daniel Gardner (1750 - 1805)


Macbeth

Act 4, Scene 1
A cavern. In the middle, a cauldron boiling. Thunder.
Enter the three Witches.

Witch 1:    What’s the chant, again?
Witch 2:    I dunno.  Bubble-something?
Witch 3:    [Grumbles.] Amateurs!

More Thunder.  Exeunt

    Best. Ever. Tweet. You crack me up, Randi! And yes, the Scottish Play was perfect. That's the kind of witch I would be... scatter-brained!

    Congrats on two winners! And happy Val Day to you, hon. Peace, Amy
