Falling

        By Lissa Howe

        I'm flying high above the trees,
        Suddenly I start to fall
        Now going down toward the trees
        Quickly reaching them.
        Branches stick in my wings
        Causing them to bleed
        A branch scratches my face.

        I turn to face the sky,
        I flap my wings hoping to slow
        Before I hit the ground.
        I succeed in my hope to slow down
        Land in a bush,
        I sigh in relief.

        Look at my surroundings,
        Trees, bushes, birds and a swamp.
        I hear something cracking
        I look around to see
        I see the ground cracking
        I'm once more falling.

        Beneath me are some tall blue crystals
        I pray hard that I don't hit them
        But BOOM! I hit one.
        Blood drips from my side
        As I slide further down the crystal
        I lie there alive but dying
        Blood has gone down the crystal
        Going toward the ground I watch it
        Then I cough up blood, then
        I DIE.
