Forest


I’ve already recently written some fiction taking place in a forest for Unusual Ethnic Customs, so I figured maybe an acrostic might be better instead. I wrote it in my typical fashion with a pattern of syllables and rhymes, sort of like a previous work I did a few years ago in The Darkness (although with a vastly different tone).


Foliage abounds

Outside the realm of man

Retreat for a weary soul

Enter, escape, become whole

Stay as long as one can

The tremendous sounds


Another acrostic winner. Some of the group were impressed with my combination of the rhyming and syllable structure. I’m thinking of reading “The Darkness” and/or “Friends” for everyone at the next meeting in two weeks.
