Short storys and Poems

Grey Skies

By: Lily Beckford


Tree´s swaying in the harsh wind making tears

As you hear looming creatures that bring fears

People shoved inside as you linger outside

Quick, make a decision to run or hide

Little bugs pick at your skin

And your head starts to spin

Soon it´ll be a sunny day

But for now, it’s grey

Plants so disfigured

You think they might have blisters

Save yourself before they come

And don´t forget to run

Don let them see

The weakness in thy´


What the Wind Blows

by: Lily Beckford

Where the wind takes the leaf. Support like a mom carrying around her child. Keeping them going. Pushing them along urging them to go farther. Wind pushing their leaves.

Telling them to keep going, even when the others stay put. Having them soar as high as possible, and not letting them crash back down. Wind pushing their leaves.

Bringing them to their final destination. Telling them to go onwards. Go Find their destiny. telling them it's okay to go on without me. You have my support. And I will always pick you up when you go down. Wind pushing their leaves.



Bloom

By: Lily Beckford



As the Flower blooms it doesn’t see its gloom

As the sun shines on this new bloom it feels, Happy

Not aware of its doom

as night falls the creatures crawl

Oh how the flower wished the sun would stay

Oh to have another day.
