Hawthorn White
written by: Kenneth Vincent Walker
Behold the lore of Hawthorn
White. ‘Twas on a night like
This in flickering candlelight.
Just a brush of her tainted
Leaves cause the itch of a
Witch; an infectious disease
Born of her thorn’s fateful
Prick. For she takes great
Delight in the might of her
Poisonous bite rendering
Victims paralyzed before
They even realize they’ve
Been bitten. An apparition
In hindsight, yet lurks in the
Shadow of night; for this is
The lore of Hawthorn White.
