**__The Forest__**


 Gloomy trees remain motionless at the sides of the twisting road, As a mysterious fog settles over the woods, Completely concealing all of its secrets.

Unknown animals slither, scuttle and fly around the forest, Enchanted woods a  re alive with activity from the different animals. Ravens and crows dwell in the trees, Squawking loudly as they work. The rustling of forest animals and bugs quietly echo through the eerie woods.

The smell of rotting wood and decay wafts through the spooky forest, The trees are like skinny thousand year old figures, Rooted here for eternity. Beside a twisted tree is an old cart wheel, Which is covered with coat of a slimy moss. Dark trees twist towards the sky Begging for new light. The solid tree tops are like a huge blanket, Unyielding to any light that tries to invade.

Dark leaves of winter start fluttering to the ground in a thick layer over the track, Very slowly the path, which starts to disappear. As an icy wind rushes through the trees, Causing great distress for the birds.

All around, there is chaos, Freezing wind throws birds’ nests out of trees, Bugs and other forest floor animals scurry into tiny holes.

Another tree branch falls closer  to the old cart wheel, The old wheel snaps under the pressure. The forest is now alive with noise, Branches cracking, birds squawking and animals panicking.

Slowly the wind starts to calm down,

Ravens and Crows stop squawking, The stench of decay and fresh moss still remains, Everything is silent.

All that is left is a path of destruction, Tangled trees and the old broken cart wheel. Most of the forest still remains completely untouched, Now, the trees have some fresh light to help them grow. The lifeless fog is slowly disappearing. Utter silence settles over the woods.






 Daughter of Honesty and Beauty. Wife of Confusion, mother of Hope. Charm has five very close friends, Courage, Wisdom, Love, Happiness and Perfection. Charm is the kind of person who likes to smile, she smiles all the time. Everyone says she has to be one of the most beautiful people to ever live, she has full lips that are always curved into a breathtakingly beautiful smile, crisp emerald eyes, a straight slender nose, straight white teeth, long naturally curly bronze hair with auburn, brown and blonde highlights and a body shaped into a slender hour glass frame. People say, “Charm was blessed with the looks of a goddess,” Charm has only one reply to that, “Thank you. I’m very flattered, but I think that everyone is beautiful in their own special way.” A simple one story town house on a beautiful farm with a crystal clear stream nearby is where Charm lives with her small family. The countryside is where Charm was born and she says she’s going to die there as well, now that’s devotion! Charm runs an animal care centre on the farm, she also has a diploma as a vet. You’ll normally find her killing time down at the stream or she’ll be in her barn taking care of her dogs, Sorrow, Kindness, Anger and Trust. Her favourite place to kick back and relax is down by the stream, underneath the Pohutukawa tree, whether she’s reading, thinking, writing or sketching something. Playing basketball with her family is one of her favourite pastimes, in winter she goes snow boarding, in summer she goes surfing, she’s very good at couple’s tennis as well. If Charm walks into a room everyone’s eyes are suddenly glued on her, expecting her to do something brilliant and exciting to charm them, but Charm just keeps on walking and smiling. Everyone loves Charm, and Charm loves everyone. Charm can emerge at anytime and affect those around you, Charm emerges when you least expect it. Charm and Charisma can help make life that little bit easier by helping make people see your way or change their opinion towards different things. 

I should have spent longer editing this task, so it would flow better. I needed to try and edit it to perfection! Overall I think that I have done okay-ish in this task! 

Courage is the daughter of Optimism and Confusion. Courage has 4 brothers, Intelligence, Love, Pain and Pessimism and 2 sisters, Charm and Beauty. Courage has only one best friend who is Hope. Together Courage and Hope are an unstoppable, stubborn force. Golden hair, the colour of a lion’s mane flows down to just past the small of her back, which is almost always worn in two tight plaits at her sides, her fringe always brushed aside. Courage usually wears any bright optimistic colours which hang over her hour glass shaped frame and fit her quite nicely. Courage likes wearing her khaki coloured 3/4 shorts, with a red and black checkered belt and a baby blue t-shirt with lots of colourful clouds and a rainbow printed on the front. No matter what the weather is like, Courage always wears her favourite skate shoes, which are mainly white, but they have yellow, green and orange music notes down the sides. In her spare time Courage likes to practice kickboxing, play basketball with her husband and children, read books to herself or to her children, play couples tennis, (Which she is very good at), go for walks down the beach and go swimming at the beach with her family. Courage has inspirational eyes, which are as green and crisp as a fresh leaf in spring. She has the ability to help people face their fears by giving them a very determined stare. Somehow that one stare gives them the urge to take on life and whatever challenges it holds for them. Courage lives in a little townhouse by the sea with her husband, Adventure and their four wonderful children, Joy, Kindness, Inspiration and Wisdom. Courage has a job as a stunt woman, which has been her dream job ever since she was 3 years old. When fear is taking over, Courage is that little voice inside all of us that helps to conquer the fear. Courage is a very important part of all of us, without it we would be helpless. 

I could have tried harder to edit this work, so it would fit together better!

I should have edited this work, I think all of my poetic writing sounds a bit muddled. I needed to proof read this work, along with all of the other ones!
