Forest of Horrors

If you just sit and listen, you can hear cries in the night. chilling screams, and terrible stories. If you just listen hard enough, you could hear the tales of the forest of horrors.

Deep in the forest,

chilling screams can be heard.

Deep in the forest, 

terrible sounds can be heard.

Deep in the forest,

dark beings can be seen.

Deep in the forest, nothing is as it seems.

The Witch of the Night lies in wait,

waiting for her next prey.

Waiting for the next unfortunate little girl or boy,

that ever think of entering the cursed depths of 

her forest, her territory.

Tonight, once again,

another pure-hearted child

scampers around,

afraid of the dark,

afraid of the unknown.

The Witch Of The Night

smiles evilly, 

her crooked teeth straightening,

her ugly face becoming beautiful.

And she steps out of the dark glades,

stepping in front of the poor, pure child.

The child whimpers, cries, and runs into her arms,

thinking it a safe haven.

But as soon as he enters her arms,

she coils her scrawny limbs around the body,

the warm body

of her next victim.

Coiling like a snake, she holds the child,

ignoring the protests of the tiny being,

ignoring his screams of agony,

his flailing arms.

Her stomach slowly opens to reveal

rows and rows of tattered, rotting teeth.

And as she sighs in ecstasy as she begins to feel life

flowing into her limbs.

But suddenly, her eyes fly open. 

She tries to scream in alarm.

She is unable to move.

She twists, turns, churns and stares in horror

at the thing in her arms.

A tiny bite mark could be seen on her collarbone

and she cries out

in pain.

The hunter had just become the hunted.

Author's Note

Dear reviewers,

I apologize for any mistakes made, for I admit that this was a rushed job, and may even be too badly written to enter into a contest. I just thought of this on the spot, and apologize in advance for any terrible concepts, but I would just like to plead if you could take even just two short minutes, to review my poem.
