(A/N: Inspired by descriptions of the Dark Forest in the Harry Potter books and films.)
Moonlight and mist snake through twisted barriers
of branch and thorn,
Weaving a tapestry of the fallen and forgotten:
A single unicorn hair, shimmering silver;
Twigs blown from a bird's nest,
abandoned now to the winter skies;
A spray of feathers mixed with snow,
blood, and bone.
The Watchers of the forest keep guard,
round eyes scanning left. . . right. . .
For those things that don't belong to the night -
that must wait until dawn
to be allowed entry.
Author notes

Beautiful
I adore poems such as these... thoughtful observations on nature, simple, unadorned yet elegant and refined choice of words... an elegy to nature but also to the beauty of language.

Very good I liked it. Your command of the mystical fantasy is excellent. Thanks for the read. Happy trails

I've always been a unicorn lover, and I really like the way you wrote this, and weave your list around your words so effortlessly. Short and succint!

rich imagery......spooky place...
rich imagery...your chosen words made us feel the
threat of the darkness near. Are you young? You have
the makings with some life experience to use this talent
and imagery to write very powerful contemporary pieces.
Are there hallways at your school that look like this
at night? all the voices and the echoes the secrets in
passed notes? can you relate to that and write using
the same imagery as above? You could be a powerful
contemporary WRITER!!!!

I've got to say.. your titles are well chosen. They grab attention nicely, plus you definitely have a way with choosing the preview lines. They really caught my interest.
The first three lines are goregous. And I love your choice of words throughout this whole piece. It was lovely as well. -
This is vivid. I love how the poem went well with the picture and that picture is absolutely amazing looking. Lovely job here, dear poet. I loved the second to last stanza. Really painted a vivid picture in my head. Keep up the good work and best of luck to you in everything.
Always and Forever,
