This is the next in my revised series of Witch poems. This time, we focus on the Artist Witch, Izabel.

Since the Witch's nature is vanity, what better way to express that pride than with the Ode, specifically the irregular form. The main idea is that she thinks she's starting a Renaissance of new art, when in reality, she's just recreating the works of other artists; she just doesn't realize it (she hates criticism). I also wanted to put in as many references to other arts as I could. See if you can spot all of them.!

ARTIST

A soul of greatness from Heavens above

I bless this land with my creative heart

To be Created by Adam with God's love

With my bright mind shall I birth a new Start

From Father's chisel, I sculpt my mind's form

And with heart's Dagger, I break the Cast's shell

I birth this child of stone and beauty!

From Mother's brush, the Whiteness I transform

With colorful flames, I smite the Blank Hell!

To bring my dreams to Life! Tis my Duty!

From Picasso's soul; the brush that I wave,

The Helpless Grey of Dear Guernica's Tomb.

From the heart of Van Gogh I shall engrave

Of Rémy's Blue Night and her Stars that bloom.

My deepest stroke and stone dagger's pure wit

Sculpting my heart of purest majesty

My soul, a token to all my young peers

Lest critical eyes see as pure common spit

And witness my Art as poor Rhapsody,

My heart shall flood with red tears

My Arching soul shall reign over the weak!

To postpone the loom of cliché's rude breath,

My canvas shall hang on the critic's peak

And put low the eager eyes down to death

I Triumph with Vitruvian design!

The Birth of art only Venus would envy!

I shall dance with Marble and become one!

It is impossible that I resign!

Even if I pass, still all will know me!

My Art shines eternally and bar none!

IZABEL

"The Artist Witch. Her nature is vanity. Without a slightest doubt, she believes her existence is blessed. Wanting someone to see her work, she often interferes with the human world. However within her Barrier only exist works that you have probably seen somewhere before. To defeat this Witch, just bring a well-known critic with you."

MICHAELA

"Minion of the Artist Witch. Her duty is to be a piece of artwork. Any human that has been killed by this Witch will have their body parts placed within this familiar.
