The Secret of The Woods

The Secret of The Woods

A Poem by Aehr

What lies beyond those woods?
I have never been yonder
Maybe the land of fairy tales
All night I sit and wonder

I know no one who's been there
Mother says I shouldn't go
Because all rumors point to one thing
All gone are seen no more

I shall creep out of home at night
And see what the woods hide
I am not scared of witches or ghosts
I am brave enough to fight

What lies beyond those woods?
I have never been yonder
Maybe the land of fairy tales
All night I sit and wonder

I loved this! I pictured a little girl staring our her window building up the courage to tip toe into the woods. Can't believe you wrote this in three minutes

Amazing... A poem like I have never read before, yet a poem with the perfect amount of devices, usage of words and phrasing. Good job :)

The woods are filled with mystery. I believe the tropical forest are the most dangerous. Never know what you may find. I like the feel of mystery and the good description in the poem. Thank you for the excellent poetry.
