I got a bit bored of normal writing and decided to try my hand at something I haven't done in a while: Poetry!

This one was a quickie, and probably won't meet the Quality Standards, but I really don't care too much, as it got me back to using better imagery and was a good break.

I might end up posting this, but honestly I just want to see what goes on with it.

The dark of the sky seeps down Broken by only the light of the moon A shrieking bat flies overhead An owl gently begins to croon

I step slowly over the grass Crushing Breaking Bending Flattening these little plants Each one crying out as if it were being cut

I make my way into the forest So dark, it seems That it wouldn’t matter Were my eyes to shut

A stream babbles like a dog Murmuring without a care As the stars gaze down From beneath the clouds Their light piercing and deep

You’re in for quite a scare… Aren’t you?

Footsteps Beckon from behind I slowly turn around to find Another walking here

You don’t notice me yet Oblivious in your way In this pitch-dark forest Turned around and lost

Skulking through the trees Watching from behind You’re trying to find your way back But in the back of your mind In some primal part of you You know this is your fate As behind you in the shadows Patiently I wait

I leap You scream Red gushes out All of it You taste sweet, my dear I drink until I can no longer hold you down And full from another meal I begin to change

Wings sprout I shrink Squealing and shrieking replace my words My ears grow My fangs sprout My eyes turn to a glistening black I look up to see a clear night As I smile and fly away.

The dark of the sky seeps down Broken by only the light of the moon A shrieking bat flies overhead An owl gently begins to croon

So there it is! Sorry if this isn't very good, I just wanted to see what you guys thought of it.

Thanks.
