Hey everyone! Here is the next Witch poem in my series, the Silver Witch Gisela! I modeled this poem after the poem, "Do No Go Gentle Into That Good Night," more properly known as a villanelle. Gisela was tricky because I didn't really have much of a backstory to go with her. Then I discovered in several production notes that Gisela's Minions, the Doras, play the theme to the Godfather on their pipes.
That lead to this theory:
"She was a smart child who probably excelled in science or technology and wanted a career on that field, but because she was a mafia daughter she felt entrapped into the mafia lifestyle and perhaps she tried to be a magical girl to seek redemption as a magical girl of justice to make up for her father's sin."
SILVER
My heart of silver, murdered by rust's hand
I no longer move at the close of the day
The road I know, no more in my command
Once in a time, I sought reign of heart's land
But unfit to shine by father's foul play
My heart of silver, murdered by rust's hand
I sought fortune through scientific hand
To design my road and not shift away
The road I know, no more in my command
Recover from crime at Godfather's true stand
Yet amnesty dead, no matter the pray
My heart of silver, murdered by rust's hand
The pipes declare; they crush upon my gland!
My speed fading as I watch the last ray
The road I know, no more in my command
My dull body now sits on the dry sand
My liberal 'morrow is speeding away
My heart of silver, murdered by rust's hand
The road I know, no more in my command
GISELA
"The Silver Witch. She has a liberal nature. She dwells in a Barrier where everything moves at high speed, but the Witch herself is dull. She, unfortunately, cannot use any sort of scientific power. Her body was once dazzling with silver, but she has tarnished gazing upon the coastal sunset."
DORA
"Minion of the Silver Witch. Her duty is to declare her opinion. She makes a nuisance of herself with the roaring from the pipes extending from her body as she moves about like a freak sandstorm. She hates magnets. "
