Forest Wonderland

 

Red tree hailing.

mice crying out loud.

humans fighting .

animal roaring.

trees blowing.

 

Red ice falling

people catching it.

fungus growing.

snow dropping.

snowman laughing

WINTER

The frozen icicle hangs from

rooftops, and adults moaning because they have

to walk.

The sound of a

child’s footsteps walking on the thin puddle of

broken ice. A wooden cabin in the forest.

Trees filled with green and white

colours, from the snow falling from the misty sky.

Children wearing their rainbow

coloured hats and scarf, slide across the frozen

wet lake .

Radios on for freezed weather

 

It’s that time of the year

when the people all have red noses because of the

snowed down blizzard.

 

 

It's Alive

 

It jumped on my face

It gave me a chase

It bit my tongue and gave me a taste

 

It's ALIVE

It lives in a beehive

 

It flies

It kills

It takes pills

It bites on my neck

And gives me a peck

 

It's ALIVE

It said 'Give Me Five'

 

It could be a girl

It could be a boy

It might even be one of those little toys.
