Wiltering wap
witchcraft
defleats dragonella’s still
derangling the weird Welsh Marches
pensed foul dread degroodled.
Sprites sprickle curses
to rehearse for doom-frum dire
and forfend devil dawns.
White witch Gwenda’s
woozy, wilful
wantonness knows
now, all sweet billiams die.
Waking with intentedness
she draindrichts to wreck all.
She spoos portents powered and pillacky.
Lank locks sparoud her brinkly brow
and water’s wanted to shrive shellfish
from her stinky oceaned hair.
As she stoops to browl
she spies cruel drisket Daddy-O
se-crenting cups of tea
