The Abandoned Castle

There once was a jewel,

Hidden away from the world,

From people who were cruel,

Sheltered, lying uncurled.

But a greedy prince found out,

Searched high and low for it,

And creeping in came doubt,

He threw a hissy fit.

Then came a guard, his face turned white,

He told the prince what news he found.

The other side moved in the night

And took the diamond from the ground.

The prince’s eyes grew wide,

He declared war!

And rushed outside,

Felt sick to the core.

And then there was a battle for days,

Pain, death and screams,

The prince survived with a graze,

But things were not as they seemed.

For a girl had poisoned his drink,

And the prince was thirsty,

He chugged it down without a wink,

And things became dirty.

Hundreds of years later,

The castle has been abandoned,

Until a brave skater,

At the gates he landed.

Hu’s Shoes

There once was a man called Hu,

The man really loved his shoes,

One day he got a brand new pair,

They were white with streaks of blue.

Shadow

My shadow lurks behind me,

Darker than black could ever be,

She watches me all day,

But in the night, she cannot stay.

Each person has their own,

The Sun is behind me, she has grown,

Lonely I feel, as the Sun goes down,

But I hope to see her, maybe in town.

The Mountain

The mountain’s a castle,

High up in the sky,

Whistling in peace,

To the tourists who come by.

The mountain’s a staircase

No bottom or top,

It’s such a delight,

No one wants to stop.

The mountain’s a giant,

Watching over its people,

Looking at the babies,

and the children who are feeble.

The mountain’s a dragon,

Gentle and kind,

He places on top,

Lost treasures he finds.

The mountain’s a memory,

You all thought it was real,

The cold snow dripping down,

The rugged stone you can feel.
