In a Forrest

A Poem in Iambic Pentameter

By James AlbertPublished 2 years ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

I awoke surrounded by a forest

Around me trees, where once were only walls

I’m filled with dread and exhilaration

And in the distance sounds of waterfalls

-

What devious purpose has brought me here

A monster or a villain cold and vile,

A demon or a creature with a spear

And at the thought of this, I crack a smile

-

For I’ve a sword stored beneath my pillow

The foolish bastards moved my whole damn bed

If I’m quick and make my next move sharply,

I’ll draw my blade and take my captor's head

Hoping to share my love of poetry and find a unique voice among the cacophony. Some dark humor, a little adventure, a little irony, mostly strange. Please comment if you like something... or if you don't. `V(^c^)V`
