The Meeting

The forest was once an exquisite place.
However one day, something was awry,
A crack,
A snap.
The wind would howl through the willowy trees,
Trying and trying to hum a warning.
All it could do was wail a woeful sound.
Crack
The animals would bellow and weep.
They were terrified because of the last time it came,
They remembered the agony, murder and sin the monster inflicted.
Snap
The village prepared for it was coming,
They fortified their walls with gnarled blue-grey stone,
They prepared sharp, formidable weapons for the war
Crack
The monster was approaching,
Its deafening roar and booming feet couldn’t be avoided
It trampled through the forest, until it found the small feeble village
Snap, too late…
