Witches

Potions all around,
Spells and enchantments,
Are their only sounds.

Hiding in the woods
Where no sane person goes,
They just can't wait,
To turn you into a toad.

Skulking in the shadows,
Waiting for their prey,
The innocent little person,
Who just gets in their way.

Beware of the evil cunning witches,
Before they fly your way.

Aw, this is kind of a cute poem!

To make it more geared for children (since it totally reminds me of a children's poem), try making this message more personally geared for children. For instance, you can use second person to direct the message to "you" instead of saying talking about the "innocent person." I think it would be much cooler!

Warning you now, I am not much of a poet.

But I read this and I had to offer some sort of encouragement, because frankly it is really good.

I do have one suggestion*: Read it out loud a few times and make sure the punctuation is where you want it to be. I believe the rules for punctuation are the same for poetry and prose; half breath/short pause for commas, full breath/long pause for periods. To me, the punctuation kinda breaks up the poem more than it needs to be.

Other than that very small detail, I thought you did an excellent job!

Keep Writing!
