Hey everyone! I decided to post another poem that I wrote. Because I like writing poems. (And, no, that does NOT make me emo.)
This one's about Mapleshade. Don't read it if you haven't read Crookedstar's promise. It's a good book, though I don't really like Mapleshade because she kind of pulled an Ashfur...
(Oh, and I'll update Briars soon, since I've FINALLY gotten over my writer's block. Yay!)
Derp. That's it.
There was a crooked maple tree,
That long ago stood tall and free,
A young, bright spirit in the woods,
Who's endless beauty all could see.
Her foolish heart brought her a man,
Their hearts entwined despite the ban,
That said she could not fall in love,
With someone born in RiverClan.
On eagle wings her young heart soared,
Deep in love, she wanted more,
But then kits came, and he felt,
That she was not worth fighting for.
Heart-broken, she was cast aside,
Just so her love could keep his pride,
He took a new mate, she gave chase,
Her kits were stolen by the tide.
Deception only lasts so long,
"Don't be HalfClan, it is wrong!
They hissed at her and cast her out,
Alone, she sang a mourning song.
Her love's mate's kits were born and grew,
All alone, she knew, she knew,
That one day she would get revenge,
She died amidst the morning dew.
The shadows reached out for her heart,
Of dark deceit she'd be a part,
She laughed and fell in their embrace,
And followed them in life's depart.
There was a crooked maple tree,
That followed the dark forest's law,
There was a crooked maple tree,
Who fooled the one named Crookedjaw.
