#TankaTuesday #Poetry Challenge - #Syllabic #poem #poetrycommunity #etheree #Halloween #witchesbrew @YvetteMCalleiro

Hello, beautiful readers! Happy Halloween to all my followers who celebrate! For this week's #TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge, Colleen Chesebro invites us to get into the spirit of Halloween by creating a poem that encompasses a witch's brew. She encouraged us to create a chant or incantation and to try to incorporate humor and rhyming words.

I chose to write an reversed Etheree, which is a poem form that has a syllabic structure of 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. I also decided to add rhyme to these descending lines (AABBCCDDEE). I hope you like it!
