| Topic: WRITE A FLICKER POEM The sun has now hidden behind the trees. Leaves are whispering in the slight breeze. Down by the river, I hear a frog croak, As darkness enfolds the land in its cloak. Engulfed in the halo cast by the fire, Admiring the song of cricket’s night choir. The flickering flames dance to their tones While chasing the cold and damp from my bones.

The Tree I came upon an ancient tree, That whispered out its secret to me. "One key will unlock your every desire. While the others unlock the gates to hell’s fire. Pick the right one, you’re wishes come true, But choose the wrong one, it’s the end for you!" The temptation was great as I looked at the keys. But not great enough to risk my soul in Hades!
