NaPoWriMo #8 | Witch's Pool

Another short poem for day eight of this increasingly difficult NaPoWriMo. This one is about a small pool hidden in the Brecon Beacons, used historically to try and drown witches. Such a cheery subject, isn't it?

Witch's Pool

Hidden by the trees,
a small brown pool
fed by the flow
of a tumbling waterfall.

The surface hides memories,
last moments of those
claimed by the water
for the sin of sorcery.
