The Night Sky
†††
It's an eerie kind of silence,
Where your heartbeat fills your head,
Standing there in the darkness,
In the forest where they bled...
†
And if you listen carefully,
You can hear them in the trees,
As they whisper in the night time,
Which makes you want to flee...
†
The fear inside you is so intense,
But your not there for the thrill,
You have come to find the place,
Where they say that she was killed...
†
The mist is hard to see through,
As the Ferries begin to chant,
It is for sure in their evil forest,
The fear has you in a trance...
†.
They know just why you came here,
You just wanted to find the truth,
Committed to the enchantment,
But to them it is no excuse...
†
You come upon the place now,
Where on the ground her blood has dried,
Her body was ripped to shreds,
In this forest where she died...
†.
No one knows what happened,
Except the Ferries in the trees,
They flew down and they bit her,
It is on the human flesh they feed...
†
As the terror begins to manifest,
It all stemmed from the hate,
You try to turn and run,
But now it is just to late...
†
They spread their wings, you can hear them fly,
In the night sky as they swoop down,
The excruciating pain begins,
As they pin you to the ground...
†
Inside this carnal existence,
Basked in all the shadowed lies,
Soiled with anticipation,
Of those who came here and they died...
†
Now you know how her fate was sealed,
It was just as they had said,
You had there chance to run,
As now just like her your dead...
†
Provocative in their mystery,
As the Ferries fly away,
In this darkened evil forest,
Where they live and where they play...

an acrostic poem for you first letters down spell Enchanted Forest:
By Your Hand
Eiere forest, spooky sounds
Night time brings the howl of hounds
Creatures stir this night time soup
Hanging bats upside down droop
Antler wearing deer take flight
Night time creatures give them fright
Tawny owl on branch gives hoots
Evil badgers bait like brutes
Demon trolls are playing flutes
Fear not my love and hear my plea
Oblige me with your faith in me
Relax and let me be your shield
Ever brave I never yield
So come with me and take your stand
The witch must die by your fair hand

David,thank you for your beautiful magical entry
You feel me touch your neck as you wonder within my sisters dream,
A simple whisper of wind blowing between the old oaks was all that it seemed.
Not knowing if 'twas life within the trees or the wind did make them dance,
Such enchanted lands you have stumbled upon by simple chance.
The forest is home to all manner of life and such beauty surrounds you as you walk through,
Unyet the life of my kin is not obvious to your mortal view.
You feel us unyet you fail to see such wonders that fall from beneath the tree,
Only those who know our name know that some worlds are not yours to see.
So dance with us in the depths of your dreams and we shall do the same in ours.

Thank you for your entry,Gapchenko

I walk again among the ancients
under trees gigantic clawing the skies
the hood of the past withdrawn
here again the druids rule
the name I bear allow me entry
the spirit within allow me to see
the blood of sacrifices against
the bark of the trees
as needed by the priestesses
to cut the leaves upon the tree
to sprinkle blessed water
upon the raging bull
sacrifice made the sickle
making deep cuts on engorged veins
the raging bull rage no more
blood to tree the spirits danced
they priestess asked of abundance
in wheat in child in husbandry
I smell the trees again
bloody trails closed once more
helm of my skirts dipped in red
among the green the quiet
the breeze blew the bird sang
the day was bright again
within the forest
I walked again.

Thank you Grace for a magical entry:)
Crying Leaves
The main Forrest propagandist
fell prey to the ghastly breeze
inhabiting every facet of
the mid- tree feast.
A pack of grated Elves scouted for
unsung harmonium instruments,
and subsequently delivered them to
empyrean pixies, who made love
to the ever pugnacious Erymanthian Boar.
Silent spells were convoked
by ginger haired Warlocks, who
danced impetuously to uncoordinated
rhythm sections.
The nearby Lake chirped verses
from the book of Jonah ,
trying to raise Aspidochelone
up towards the center of the forestry skies.

A Secret Place of Ancient Wonder
Come and take yourself away
From the grind and the cares of the world
Dance and revel in the beauty
The flow of life and laughter
Frisk among the trees so dappled green
Swinging vines, soar once more
Free as a bird on the wing
Play with us upon the air
We, fairies of gossamer diaphanous wings
Flitting through the aerospace
Release your tired aching soul
To the pure ecstasy of joy
Skip over the babbling brooks
Sinuous streams of glorious melody
Surge over waterfalls, roaring in your ears
Down through the burrows of
The wee folk gamboling, piping,
Swaying with the enticing throb
Beasts of pure intent, no concern
Come to meet you now, as you draw near
Now unicorns and griffins,
Eloquent animals in a diverse throng
Meeting, greeting, begging to play
Assemble now the elfin brethren
Rich colors on vibrant display
Drawing you into the pounding circle
Drum beat fueling blood, heart rockets
True home found at last
Off again to explore a weald
Unlike any before chartered
Come now, deeper in, feel the magic within
Fireflies lazily hovering in groups
Like the millions of stars glowing
Through the thick canopy of boughs above
Within the dwelling of the fay
High up in the trees, intricate designs
Gracing every such one you see
Natural and developed into art
The basis of every being's habitation
Nothing artificial in this forest
Magic woven, spirit called
A secret place of ancient wonder.
