Wizardus Twirlius does it again!

With a rustle of ivy and a whiff of strong smoke
A dazzling bright flash transforms into a long cloak
Where once there was nothing, where no-one stood
Now stands a wizard with a dark cloak and hood
A cackle of laughter reveals one magi’s glee
As the Master of Skeletons holds out a key
The gathered all watch in anticipation and awe
As the purple clad wizard opens the door
Using the key taken from the skeleton’s hand
He opens the door to a vast, wondrous land
The ivy spills out through this large mystic portal
The witches move forward as they snigger and chortle
The skeleton steps back, as this is no place for he
The wizard holds up his hand and shouts “Follow Me!”
One by one they step out into this realm
The passage disguised as a sturdy old elm
The wizard, four witches, a spider, and a cat
Step into a large field – an empty one at that
”Where are the crowds?” asks the Witch for the East
”And,” cries the West Witch, “where’s the food for our feast?”
The Wise Witch says to the wizard “We’re too keen,”
She smiles, and then adds “It’s not yet Halloween”
The Dim Witch stares forward, and looks at the Moon
”We’ve done it again – we’ve come here too soon!”
The wizard looks around at each and everyone
Thinks quickly, and declares “Yes, the test is now done!
Follow me back to our lair where we’ll wait”
And he tapped his watch thinking “At least we weren’t late!”

+This is a repost+
Wizardus Twirlius and his band of unlucky travellers first appeared exactly one year ago today, give or take a day or so. Well, if the good wizard can get his days wrong, there’s no reason that I can’t do the same, is there? I’ve reposted this today merely because it’s Halloween month, and I was slightly short on the –erm– old time front myself this evening. The image with this post was cobbled together using png images from the internet, clip art and Powerpoint shapes. The Full Moon has appeared several times this week, but it appears considerably smaller in this picture. And I don’t think any of the characters featured in this post have any connection with those attending the Gathering mentioned last night… however, I may be wrong.

We know what these inter-dimensional portals can be like!
