Forest

In English, we had to emulate a poet's collection and style by using the same characteristics (themes, tone, technique) as them.
I created 3 poems based on The Stag Head Spoke by Erina Harris, and I liked how they turned out!

I

I, the wolf, watch her--

she strews moonstones shining pewter starlight

through the velvet gloom that capes her,  

amidst the looming trees that bow humbly towards her

she shimmers, canines and claws glinting,

princess of the twilight forest and

mysteries that I fearfully love so dearly.

In the woods she looks through broken  

glass to crooked broken

backs of paths for the way out--

or perhaps in. 

II

The monster wakes, midnight wails slipping

through the breaking spines of  

twigs raking, raking, raking our skin

until we adorn bracelets of red

beads trickling down wrists where they

mix at hands held aching, pulsing of heartbeats

racing as we await yellow eyes to

follow us, quaking. 

III

Whispering aubade, butterflies alight on the

scrapped remains of a girl's petticoat

bleeding, seeping down bark

untouched, unslain. She licks her lips

of innocence tamed,

sweetness leaves in their mouths

hunger. The wolf girl and the girl wolf traipses

towards weeping dawn.
