Here is poem Regan wrote that I thought was particularly good. so I thought I'd share it here:
The Dark, Black, Woods
Many folks will tell you not to wander in the woods at night
Anything may jump out, giving you a fright.
The only men who’ll go into the woods, well, bravery, they do not lack
But notice how all who go in, ha! They never do come back.
Have they all been eaten?
Or maybe only beaten?
Only those who enter the forest
Can see what lies before us.
You see, on a dark and scary night,
One filling you with fright,
If you enter in the vast, black scene
You will hear an owl scream.
If you make it this far, you are likely to go home
For the scare the forest gives, chills all the way to the bone.
But, if you would wander further, just a little down the bend,
Everything would change as you travel to your end.
The black flower petals, start changing as you stare,
And soon, they become dollar bills, and coins, just right there.
The dirt underneath you becomes fine gold dust, yes it’s true.
The black, bleak sky turns to a beautiful blue.
Soon you see houses made from ice cream,
And fish that are red and green.
You see a whole village where gumdrops line the street
And cars, which look good enough to eat.
You see cows playing tubas, with many people standing around.
The ocean is a pretty purple, and so is the lovely ground.
Who could have guessed you just came from the lonely dark?
When you are standing on a spaceship, with a monkey, in a park?
So those folks who tell you men are eaten in the woods?
Well, they’re wrong, they’re just too scared to come and enjoy these goods.
Only men who’ve been there have the knowledge others lack.
For all of those that enter, why would they ever come back?
