Haunted

Shelly tells me that’s the theme for this year’s NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month). I don’t usually participate, because it’s just too much pressure right before I begin NaNoWriMO (National Novel Writing Month) in November, but I’ve been so out of the swing of writing with one or another life thang in the way, that I have decided to give it a shot. I’ve already missed the first day, but I’m not lettin’ that stop me. Escpecially with a theme like…

Haunted!

I’m still pretty busy around here, so I might be having a little photo fun with ya’ll this month. After all, there are a lot of fun, witchy items around here to fit the theme, so…

without further ado:

 

Haunted! Day 1

Morning Coffee with Igor

Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison’d entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights hast thirty one
Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witches’ mummy, maw and gulf
Of the ravin’d salt-sea shark,
Root of hemlock digg’d i’ the dark,
Liver of blaspheming Jew,
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Sliver’d in the moon’s eclipse,
Nose of Turk, and Tartar’s lips,
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver’d by a drab,
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron,
For the ingredients of our cauldron.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
-Macbeth, Willie Shakespeare

Peace, out!

Love it! I'm definitely in the Halloween spirit - what a great photo to capture that.
