Notes About The Poem

Into the Woods She Walks

Into the woods she walks, the autumn sprinkled path 
wearing a red hooded cape; moving warily 
as she sings nervously following the footpath.
Her worries of running into something beastly.

Wearing a red hooded cape; moving warily 
she hears the amber leaves crackling under her feet.
Her worries of running into something beastly.
Spinning flicker, flutter leaves echo tempest beat. 

She hears the amber leaves crackling under her feet. 
Flapping of wings as frighten birds quickly take flight. 
Spinning flicker, flutter leaves echo tempest beat, 
drowns her quietness casting shadowed forms in sight. 

Flapping of wings as frighten birds quickly take flight. 
She quickens her steps and made her way to the end. 
Drowns her quietness casting shadowed forms in sight.
Left behind, quiescence of lulls spell, time mewl spend. 

She quickens her steps and made her way to the end
as she sings nervously following the footpath. 
Left behind, quiescence of lulls spell, time mewl spend. 
Into the woods she walks, the autumn sprinkled path.
