Baleful eyes a burning green
See in me not but a simple
fuzzy
bumbling bee
I know you
Child of the Slain Tree
Woodcutter charged with your care
He loves you as his daughter
Tarry here and there no longer
Go home
For dark shadows haunt these woods in the abscence of light
Dark eyes and eerie cries
Whispering your name as day blinks to night

Oooohhh!
I love the slightly darkness of this piece. My 9 yr old neice says terrific and wonderful. She really liked the last stanza. I would say this was outside the box and a great take on the prompt. Thank you for your entry and best of luck in my contest.
