This is my poem for The Hunger Games called Nightlock. Enjoy.
Dark berries
Indigo in the sparkling sun
Golden rays cause the skin to glisten
And I know they must be from Heaven
For they provide my only escape
And here beside me sits
The boy who saved my life
And who will journey along side me
As I consume my subtle death
And him as my last sight
And, at last, I feel the cool caress
And smell the putridness, thick and lingering
Entering my mouth
Like the poisoned apple of tales long lost
The berries that will spare my name of this world
But the poison they contain never hits my tongue
A man's voice, worried and frantic, stops me
The berries leap from my mouth
As a grin finds it's place on my lips
And I'm free once again.
