The Witch Reads
A Bedtime Story To Her Cat
This is for a prompt in the Vocal Social Society based on this painting. I have decided to do a simple sonnet to kick off the prompt.
The music is "This Is Halloween" (From Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas")
The image was originally shared on Facebook by The Reiki Cat Lady who is worth following if you are cat lover on Facebook
