poetry assignment 2.2 : "their own particular witch"

The Pine Barrens once had
 their own particular witch,
 Peggy Clevenger.

It was known
that she could turn herself into a rabbit,
 for a dog was once seen chasing a rabbit
and the rabbit jumped through the window of a house,
 and there-in the same instant, in the window-
stood Peggy Clevenger.

On another occasion,
a man saw a lizard and tried to kill it
by crushing it with a large rock.
When the rock hit the lizard,
 the lizard disappeared
and Peggy Clevenger materialized on the spot

Peggy lived in Pasadena, another of the now vanished towns,
about five miles east of Mt. Misery.
 It was said that she had a stocking full of gold.
Her remains were found one morning
 in the smoking ruins of her cabin,
 but there was no trace of the gold.
