EEK! That's a nasty one (as is intended, I'm sure). I really need to brush up on some of the exact rules for poetry forms, but I THINK this one is correct. There's a particularly nice (!) irony that some of the children Tatty plans to off are his own.

Your poem really pulls you in with its haunting tone. I love the tension between the bogle's desire for revenge and the sense of justice it feels for its torment. The way you twist the idea of "witchcraft" and "cursed" is so clever! The underlying menace really makes this poem unforgettable. Well done!

wow... okay, so that's a seriously 'haunted' (demented?) piece about a sorcerer (yes, scarecrow...) that has a hellish bent -- again: wow. A great offering for this contest here - thanx for sharing! ;)
