Dragon Witch

• Artist: Shikaku Rin
• Description: A poem that slowly wormed it's way into my mind, and then wouldn't leave. It's a very rhythmic short story.

A witch, a witch, a dragon witch
Come see the witch, the dragon witch
She’s bound in the public square
For slaying the dragon king.

A witch, a witch, a dragon witch
Come throw rocks at the dragon witch
She’s bound in the public square
For killing our king fair.

A witch, a witch, a dragon witch
No mercy for the dragon witch
Still bound in the public square
Slay her, like she, our king.

A witch, a witch, a dragon witch
I feel sad for the dragon witch
She’s bound in the public square
For a crime she didn’t commit.

A witch, a witch, a dragon witch
She loved the king, our dragon witch
Now she pines in the public square
Bound there by her own will.

Nice, I mean its not the best as far as a story poem. could use a bit more detail and sensory, but your rhythm is quite excellent.

I really like this! You're right: it's rhythmic, and some of the repetition is effective. You might want to add a bit more of a story to it, though, rather than repeating the same idea over and over. Like, why was the witch blamed? How EXACTLY was the dragon king killed?
