She was superstitious to a fault
Always throwing her spilled salt
“Wards off penance” is what she thought
As previous generations had taught
“It will keep me safe” she crowed
Believe me, to her it was owed
For the many evil ways she sowed.

  2. Wonderfully done, all the more so with that poison in the tail of a line at the end, very hood verse, I must say, smooth flow yet dramatic with that little last flourish of the last line..

  4. I am getting very lazy in my old age. I had to cheat with hyphens.

    Sodium-Chloride
    NaCl
    Goes with pepper
    Very well
    Lightly-seasoned
    Finely-tuned
    Do not rub it
    In the wound
    A pinch of it
    For you and me
    Much much more
    Within the sea
    A grown-up spice
    (It’s quite adult)
    Please take this with
    A grain of salt.
