if my curses frighten
it is only because
they are wellearned
cast a bit of salt
and hold your poppet
close and tight tonight
morning will surely come
as it must, mustn't it?
oh, my lovey love...

Oh, this feels like it could be the start of a horror novel. I love the work poppet and think I need to write a poem using it now!
It’s a fun, slightly creepy word that you can’t quite put a finger on the why of it.
Looking forward to reading it!
