The Spell A poem by Gavin Hill August 1987 Head of gnat, tail of rat, eye of mouse and wing of bat. In the cauldron, boil dry, "hubble bubble," the witch's cry. Leg of cockroach, tongue of two birds, all mixed up, the magic words. Crooked nose and toothless grin, crushed up snails and fishes fin. A pinch of this, a pinch of that, it's not quite right, in goes the cat. A puff of smoke, into the air, a crash like thunder, there's something there. A tiny thing, so meek and mild, the witch's dream, she made a child. © 1997-1998 - Gavin Hill Gavin says "This is a poem that I wrote a long time ago. It is a part of an anthology that I would love to have published someday. The poem itself belongs to the fourth chapter of the anthology. The anthology has been aptly entitled, Ten Years of The Heart. The four chapters are: 'Love', 'War', 'Food for Thought' and 'A Little Bit of Fun' More than poems, the anthology has a good many paintings, sketches and prints to acompany the poetry."
