Dark Woods Jh

I’d started walking hours ago, Content with strolling in the snow. The woods fell dark and, lost, I found The eeriness of snow white ground. And then I heard a fearsome howl; I felt a presence, heard a growl. I didn’t know which way to turn, And what was there, I daren’t learn. I ran and heard the heavy feet Of something wild, not nice to meet. I tripped and fell and cried in fear, I smelt its breath, knew death was near… I love the creepy way snow glows in ther dark

This is great dark writing on that snow white snow! Congrats if it won in the dark forest contest. So I remind you of your mother, do I? She must be MAH-VALOUS!

So glad you didn't write the grisly ending Jack, you have enough stealth in this to satisfy my need for hair raising action! :)

Very scary, Jack. If I heard that growl while walking through the woods at night, I'd probably climb a tree. Awesome entry for PD's contest! Winning wishes headed your way, my friend. Love, Carolyn

Oh Jack, this is an amazing write! Scarey poem this one is! You built the poem up more and more up to an extreme climax!! Will he die? That is the question in everyone's minds, each will be a different answer...you should start a contest having people write a short poem with their answer to this finale! Just a thought!!
