SOMETHING WICKED

Quadrille #90 at dVerse
And De asks us to feature the
word quiver in our poetic effort,
in exactly 44 words, of course!
Submitted October 21, 2019



deep in the forest at dark o’clock
I came upon a bubbling caldron
unattended
   
the black cat watched, the owl said “Who?”
I quivered, my footsteps
suspended    

grasping an arrow from  ready quiver  
I drew my bow, vowing to shoot before I was
 upended

  6. I can hear double double toil and trouble... or is that a cackling from below.
