A creak of the door
It fills your ear.
A crack in the floor
What is fear?
There's no light
Was that a rat?
Somethings not right.
What was that?
A ghost of the mind?
Monster ready to dine?
Clock struck thirteen?
Is this a dream?

Batcat Nat

Nat the bat cat
at the hat,
ate the mat which
ate the rat and
got a pat and grew
so fat. So she sat.

Then she went to Ben the hen
in the den and got out a pen
and said "Count to ten."
That was when Ken came in
and said "Where's Len?"

Len knows Dan
who has a pan
near the fan
because he's the man
who has a nan that
drives a van and
has a tan.
So she ran and
got a can
for Peter Pan.

He's nan's friend
that can bend
and send an attend letter
so that's
THE END

by Jade and Danbee
Once upon a morning day
when doe rests upon the tawny grass,
a girl with as light as grey
and skin as bronze as brass,
was born into this dark, dank world.

Unaware was she
of the dank, musty odour
that comes from he
who killed me.

Amongst the dead lay a lady.
Lips frozen in a last laugh,
hair locked in a wave of sunlight,
heart stopped from beating.
Death embraced
as though a friend lost an age ago.

Found again a friend indeed.
Found in air,
embraced by cloud,
killed by death,
awakened by love.

Silent Magpie

The magpie walks
across the sodden ground.
There is so much no one knows about her.
Like you, like you
secretive one.
They tell me when I say so.
I don't know why they say those words.
I don't know what they mean.
I'm nothing like a silent magpie,
walking across the green.
Oh yes you are! Oh yes you are!
They tell me everyday.
I don't know why they tell me so
I know it can't be true.
I'm nothing like a silent magpie,
walking under the sky so blue.

I Write

I write to survive
and to erase out all the lies.
Zone out all the people,
Zone out all the hatred.
I write to save the world,
to stop the ongoing wars.
I write to spread the love
without sacrificing mine.
I want to keep on going
but my body says stop.
I'm not going to listen,
I'll write and write and write.
Nothing'll stop me no one will stop me,
the words will appear like flashes of lightning.

At the Day of an Autumn Morning

At the dawn of an autumn morning, a child was left on a lane where leaves danced to the ground as though they had trained to be ballerinas.
The child had a mat of black hair and was small as that of a fairy's child. Rumour has it she was.

She was swathed in many clothes, but clothes by none. It was by way of this that we realise the child is of a delicate, ladylike stature.

By her side lay three parcels and a note.

Found in this manner was she, three weeks later, by a witch - white, mind you, meaning she ws not that of a villainous mind.

Fifteen years later, the witch was at death's door, and the child was left alone in the world, with none but ten cats. Disease stealing their lives until one remained, at wits end.

She returned to her birth lane, and alighted her eyes upon a male stature with eyes that mirrored the depths and colour of the ocean on a cloudless day.

Lost was her heart from that first second, so too was his.

They were married on a day in autumn much like the one she was born upon. A white dress flowed down her slender frame like a waterfall. A delicate ring entwined itself around her fingers.

Her first child was born not long after and they lived contentedly.

Alas, not all stands still in life, and eventually their bodies were laid to rest, even though their immortal souls live forever more.

BIG BOYS TOYS

It was a sunny day on the 17th of February. I was walking along a road in my local town. I noticed that the run-down pub had been turned into a toystore. It wasn't the most colourful shop that I had ever seen, but it was fine.

I walked into the shop named Toys for Boys. I noticed that on one side of the shop there was a sign saying 'Big Boys Toys'. There was chainsaws, boats, cars, steak knives, and things like that. Then on the children's side there was wrestling figures, toy guns, puppets and other things.

But the one thing that caught my eye was a puppet. It was red with a darkening smile and it's hands were out like it was going to hug me. At that moment the lights went out.

I noticed that there had been a man standing at the entrance.

There was a yelp, the lights flickered on for a second and the man that I saw before had his head chopped off and lying on the ground. There was an evil laugh and then darkness fell upon me.
