House by the Woods

Beware of what lies beside, you never know what might be and what might not.

I just moved into this New House
At the Bottom of the Street
It's really nice and old here
I like the Gingerbread and Paint
It must be rather Ancient
To the style, it is built
Tommorrow is my first day
Of the Town's only School
Many Kids looked at me
The Strange New kid in Town
Then at Recess they started talking
Of the Spooky Sara Brown
Who use to live in my New House
Near the Woods at the end of the Town
Her Friend lived at the Opposite Side
All the Way Down
From a path no one every took
But this Girl was absolutely Bound
She was a Very Brave One
But Considered Foolish all around
Everyone Else feared the Legend
Of a Lady Of the Woods
Who would take Children Thoughts
And truly make them Zombies
with Minds Like Empty Wood
Who Walked around aimlessly Day and Nigh
A Nightmare no one Could
Wish even on their Enemies
After All whoever would
She thought they were all out of their minds
To even think of this
Well this Young Sweet Mind
Learned the Truth of this Quick
She took the path as she Promised
It wasn't till the next day
Before she was down the Main Street
Her wistfull eyes in a strange way
Her lips Mumbling something
But what, no one could say.
All of this was Humbug
They were just trying to Scare Me
So I decided to show them
I wasn't a Scaredy She
So I followed down the Dark Path
The Woods was a calling Me
Something very Vicious
My mind seemed to be slipping, You see
Then I felt a Shiver, driving through my Brain
It caused to me to start to Quiver
And I Quickly Turned Away
To Make a Bee Line to Safety
And to this Very Day
Never to enter the Woods, Nigh or Day
Perhaps the Ghost is a Figment
Perhaps the Lady too
Perhaps it was a True Story
I will never know, but Perhaps possibly You.

Author's Note

Sort of took me a while, might be a bit rickety, just like an Old House by the Woods.
