The Witch's Hand Riddle

The Witch's Hand Riddle

Beneath a flag that doesn't waver,
A tree that's slane might well bear fruit,
And though the flag might not find favor,
There's little failure of salute,
A witch ensures the flag's repute,
And keeps a wicked garden,
The branches one and all astute,
Are tangled begging pardon,
And though the garden might be green,
You've never seen one thinner,
It's branches white will turn to snow,
The witch's hand will winter

who is the witch, what is the garden,
what are the branches, what is the snow
(the answers are on the reply to this post)

the witch is a
teacher,
the green garden is
a chalkboard,
the white branches,
are the lines upon a chalkboard,
the snow,
is the powder from the lines of chalk

This poem is really a wondrous kind, something mysteriously presented, something very otherworldly indeed, a commingling of what is seen and what is unseen.

Really there is something latent, something you want to speak of but that can bot be spoken of, for our language is too poor and of course not sufficiently developed to go that deeper.

I got charmed by the magic of your problem, very superbly written.

thanks, I'm glad you liked the riddle. It took me only 18 minutes to contrive and word the riddle, and I originally posted it on a chess forum.
