poetry: a girl who wonders

28

11/15/17 -- 8th Grade -- Reading and Language Class

Based off of the poem 'Jabberwocky' by Lewis Carroll.

'Twas a gloomy day.

The dark wood shone,

Becoming brighter and brighter.

I inched away from the wabe,

Watching the trees outgrabe.

The wind grew powerful,

Pushing me to the ground.

"Ah, Tillie," a voice booms from behind.

The Bandersnatch- A murderous villain.

Though he sounded mimsy,

He was nothing but delightful and loyal.

The mystical brute helped me up;

Bringing me back to the wabe.

Yet he helped,

But it wasn't the end for him.

Thinking I was safe,

I headed back home.

The sound of crunching leaves...

They followed me home.

Crunch....crunch....crunch....

I walked faster,

I started to sprint.

I was like a cheetah at this point,

Running for my life.

I knew something was following,

Still unsure of who.

Crash;

The Bandersnatch jumped out,

Leaping towards me.

He grabbed my arms,

I became mimsy.

Is this the end,

I asked myself.

With that, everything went blinding.

Never seeing the light again,

I faded with the darkness.
