The Wails In The Forest
My brother and I decided to go deep into the woods around noon. We heard weird stories about the woods and we were determined to find the truth soon. Our parents agreed as long as we promised to be careful and take our cell phones. Of course us being teenagers this was met by annoyed groans. We heard the strange going ons happen near a big oak tree deep in the forest. We love being detectives but figured it would be a snore fest. We sat near the oak tree and for awhile we waited. After the long walk I was quite jaded. I somehow dozed off on my brother Matt’s shoulder. When I awoke it had gotten darker and colder.
“Did I miss anything?” I say rubbing my eyes. Matt chuckles “Nice hair Katie! No nothing at all.” he sighs. “Alright lets go home.” I say defeated as I attack my hair with a comb. Just as we turned to leave we heard a loud shriek! We slowly turned around to the noise that came from the creek. ‘NO WAY!” Matt whispers scared. My mind runs a mile a minute thinking of huge monsters their fangs bared. The cry rang out once again but closer this time. The wail sent chills down our spines as it continued to chime. That’s when we saw it on the ground next to our beach towel. Staring at us with big eyes was a tiny beautiful Owl.
Matt laughs “Its just a Screeching Owl! That’s all it was!” I nodded convinced until again we heard the wail buzz. My eyes widened in terror because the whole time the creature had not stirred. The scary thought hit me that maybe into the forest we had been lured. Matt grabs my arm, starts to back up, and manages to say “Maybe it has a mate?” “That must it!” I scream as we run home our minds in a terrified state. So you see? No one knows what awaits in the forest for thee…

Hope you like it! :D

that was awesome Marissa! the rhyming and story flowed together well, but i would suggest making a poem like this:

i already have a poem for this :3 let me get it i wrote it awhile back :DD i think itll work with this picture:

The Willow Woods

Above the woods.
The Angels rest.
Below the woods.
The Demons cry.
The wind that blows through the woods.
Are dreams of those, whom are still alive.
Secrets hide between the trees of the woods.
Answers run free with the falling leaves.
In these woods you and I would laugh.
But now it makes me cry.
Past the glistening stream.
And over the bridge.
Is where you and I might die.
The sky is dull and gray.
Teardrops from above, rain down upon us.
Glowing eyes watch us throughout the night.
I hold your hand tight.
Saying "We'll be okay."
For I feel we have at least one more day.
When the sun appears, from behind the clouds.
Sunbeams fall on our faces through the tree branches.
The Willow Woods is not a friendly place.
But I know when I'm not alone and with you, my friend.
We can keep up with it in a very close pace.
We will find our way out of this maze.
As long as you stay in my gaze.
The Light will guide us through the Willow Woods game.

Dear Amanda

Dear Amanda,

The smell of pine and rotting wood,
A mist on the edge of the plain,
From the desolate cave where I stood,
I shouted in fury and pain,

“Why oh why me,” I whimpered and pouted,
“Whatsoever did I do”
I flamed and I flurried; I was certain but doubted
I behaved so terribly to you.

I gave you flowers on Valentine’s Day,
Like any good lover would have,
I said I loved you in every possible way,
Now I realize, I couldn’t have,

Still, I’m here abandoned and cold,
Surely you had a reason,
To kidnap me, so brave and bold,
Then leave me stranded in such a season,

I understood when I broke your heart,
That there would be some agitation,
Be that as it may, you’ve gone too far,
And I demand an explanation,

It’s not the fog, the wind, the cold, nary
The birds or the trees,
I just don’t think it was necessary,
For you to ditch me out here in my skivvies.

I mean, how could you? Why would you?
Who would even dare,
To drug their ex and ship them off to…
God, I don’t even know where.

You’ve proved, I was wise to not date you any longer,
I was wise in dropping you cold turkey,
I just wish I’d made this decision much sooner,
Before I found out you were crazy,

So honey if you wanted revenge or release,
I’m not sorry that you wont get it!
Cause, well, I’m dragging myself down to the police,
Where I’m gonna make you regret this!

So while you’re in jail, wallowing away,
Soaked in your own self-pity,
I’ll be with friends, laughing about today,
Enjoying life’s blissful luxuries,

Your soulless ex,
Tom

P.S. Have a great time, and
Don’t get stabbed or anything.

Good job Ariel!
