Our Woods

Our woods have many forts in it Our woods have a tire swing that touches the ground Our woods have trees that dance in the wind The leaves are like birds as they flutter down from the trees We find many old memories in our woods We make new ones too Our woods have bugs and beatles but we just ignore them Our woods aren’t a stone castle It doesn’t have knights in shining armor protecting it It doesn’t have dragons trying to burn it It doesn’t have kings, queens, princesses, or princes ruling it Some people think the woods is just for animals It’s not just for the animals it’s for us to It’s for us to protect and us to rule Our woods aren’t a stone castle but it’s our castle and its beautiful in every way.
