Venture Off On This Path Contest

This journey started many years ago, A Woodland path, I walked it slow, From the beginning I had a plan, To venture off into this land, The road looked endless from where I stood, I knew it was time to do the best I could, My eyes were fixed on what was all around, What I experienced was quite profound, The treetops high they could barely be seen, The air was fresh, crisp and clean, The sky was vast, with melting shades of greens and blues, Each step I took, I experienced something new, The first time I stopped was because I heard a call, A hurt exstrodanary bird named Afabulouscoo had a hard fall, Her colors reflected the morning sky, Pink, yellow and blues, with a song that sounded like a cry, She let me pick her up off the ground; I tried not to make a single sound, I gently put her in the trunk of a tree, till she healed and could fly free, Then I continued on my way, It was still the early part of the day, Purple Chipmunks scurried across my trail, Shaking their bushy little tails, Miles down there was an abandoned home, Windows shattered, so I decided to roam, Looked in the first room and found a pink crown, Took a quick glance, to make sure no one was around, I placed it on my head for a moment of glory, This was just the begining of my strange little story, Then I walked out and continued on my way, When suddenly I heard two monkeys play, Swinging from the branches above me, They tried to take the crown from on top of the trees, They were not very nice, evil I would say, Screaming "come back here, we just want to play" I ran real fast, and suddenly tripped and fell, Looked up and realized I was next to a well, There was a red bucket, It had a note inside, "Get in and take a wild ride" I climbed in and could barly fit, I realized I was falling into a dark pit, I Jumped out real quick, before I could not reach, Then, saw a tree that had a giant peach, I was feeling hungry so I took a bite, Instantly the day turned into night, The weather changed it started to rain, The woods screamed out as if in agonizing pain, “what did you do”” What did you do” “Wake up now, or are forest is through!” I rubbed my eyes really hard, realized I had fallen asleep in my backyard, My mother was standing over me, Saying,“I just went to the store, here is a peach, eat it, it’s healthy” By:Sabina Go ask Sabina (Alice) contest

I like the way you used the colours in the poem. It is a unwriten rule not to use orange in a poem. But I use orange in my poems too.Very interesting poem. I dig the dream; imagery was beautiful. I hope to see more of you poems. I dig your rhyme.
