Wiry Winney Rides Again
© Michelle Kogan
Wiry Winney whirled
through town
terrifying children
all around
Small in frame
but mean in game
children cried
when they heard her name
Wiry Winney was
always seen
right around
Halloween
Was she real
or just a mirage
creeeaking out
behind your garage?
Her creepiest trick
showered in rat love
was with that mysterious
pumpkin floating above
Wiry Winney was
last seen
haunting black cats
last Halloween
Is she coming
again this year?
Are you ready…
she’ll fill you with fear
I see her do you?
The skies are murky,
but she’s on her broomstick
and her tricks are lurrrky..

What fun, Michelle! I wonder what lurky tricks Wiry Winney will be up to next. 🙂
Hi Vivian, thanks for stopping by and commenting! Well, Winney’s geared up for just about anything. The weather is frightfully windy where she hails from in the windy city, and she’s got many tricksters accomplices to boot…
Happy Halloween!
Then Winney must live in Chicago…tell her to give a wave to my son and his family…they live a couple of blocks from the lake. 😉 Happy Halloween!
Ooh! Wiry Winney sounds like quite the scary character! Look out trick-or-treaters 🙂 Lovely job amping up the spookiness, Michelle, and leaving us to wonder whether she’s real or just a mirage! 🙂 Thanks so much for joining in the Halloweensie fun!
Hi Susanna, thanks for coming by and all your thoughts on my story poem! I really enjoyed your prompt and am making my way through the stories.
Scary, zippy pace, and wonderful! I particularly love her spider web armpits:)
Thanks Lauri, Wiry Winney was fun to conjure up!
Wiry Winney is a fantastic witch name! Cute poem and I love the drawing 🙂
Hi Penny, Thanks for taking a look and for your thoughts on the poem and art!
Love your illustration. I’ll be watching out for Wiry Winney tonight. 🙂
Hi Syndney, thanks! Well I made back into the house with my daughter just as Wiry Winney was coming out from behind a black cloud….
My favorite line is “Small in frame but mean in game…” That naughty witch!
Hi Sara, Thanks for stopping by. Yes I guess Wiry Winney is a bit naughty, but then again she’s a witch…
That Wiry Winney does not look like she has a Winning personality! I hope she doesn’t come lurking around here! Nice creepy poem though! Hope you had a good Halloween! Lots of treats?
Thanks Rhythm for stopping by! Hope you had a good Halloween too!
I love ‘Wiry Winney whirled”. This was definitely very visual luuurrrkky fun! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by Rupali!
Oooh, I do NOT want to run into Wiry Winney!
Hi Cathy, thanks for taking a look!
I really like this character. I want to know about her lurky tricks!
