A Trail In The Woods

English Poetry

“Nature Poetry”

Trails ran and I followed

a creased moon, with me cold,

steep tall trees drowned,

the dark forest swallowed.

The wandering wild, the path they made,

now under dried leaves covered,

weather, over and over, has laid

a walkway along for the passing herd.

Crump’s and crimps each move,

swirling streams of the springs rolled,

steps I hear, along with me, in my stride,

was I alone in the ride?

The walk is dark, I hear the night,

cramping crickets and the croaking toads,

hooting stays, the echo’s throat,

as me, such, they find their roads.

The night brings no breeze, the wood’s breathless,

my journey continues in the stifling hush,

as the creeps of the dark regress

and the dripping water over the floors flush.

In the grey grass, of the gray gardens,

now deep gulped and grazed in,

to the fond of the darker runs,

me in the darks, their wish of green.

New thee night, a new reign,

for some this a blessed new day,

an unseen joy of fear and fête,

the moon still smiles on me way.

Its been years now and I am no guest,

the trail and the woods, the stars burning adequate

and the moonlight upon her breast,

makes for me a walkway through the woods tonight.

“This is a contest poem and it talks about the creepy nature to an extent. Now its you to decide the extent it takes about nature”.

Ulhas,
a striking start to a good take on nature. There is something about the dark, particularly of woods that draws us and frightens us at the same time. Well written.

Very commendable poem indeed

A Trail In The Woods

“Nature Poetry”

Trails ran and I followed

a creased moon, with me cold,

steep tall trees drowned,

the dark forest swallowed.

The wandering wild, the path they made,

now under dried leaves covered,

weather, over and over, has laid

a walkway along for the passing herd.

Crump’s and crimps each move,

swirling streams of the springs rolled,

steps I hear, along with me, in my stride,

was I alone in the ride?

The walk is dark, I hear the night,

cramping crickets and the croaking toads,

hooting stays, the echo’s throat,

as me, such, they find their roads.

The night brings no breeze, the wood’s breathless,

my journey continues in the stifling hush,

as the creeps of the dark regress

and the dripping water over the floors flush.

In the grey grass, of the gray gardens,

now deep gulped and grazed in,

to the fond of the darker runs,

me in the darks, their wish of green.

New thee night, a new reign,

for some this a blessed new day,

an unseen joy of fear and fête,

the moon still smiles on me way.

Its been years now and I am no guest,

the trail and the woods, the stars burning adequate

and the moonlight upon her breast,

makes for me a walkway through the woods tonight.

“This is a contest poem and it talks about the creepy nature to an extent. Now its you to decide the extent it takes about nature”.
