Limbo ( A poem by my son 10 year old)
Folder:
Poems by my children The dark world unknown,
The feelings of despair and being alone
A little boy wonders in curiosity
Without knowing the dangers, which are yet to be.
In the world of limbo coated with trees.
Eerie things are all he sees
He searches in vain for his sibling
A giant spider above him clings
The wind howls and fiercely blows
As he saves himself from the threatening claws
Suddenly it all goes quiet and still
In the air there is a creepy chill
But there’s one missing detail…
As he tracks up and down the trail
In this dark and mystic world unknown
I am the little boy wondering about alone,
Amazing insight for a ten
Amazing insight for a ten year old...but too, there may be some things designed into the video games now that suggest thisntype of thinking. Whatever the case, very good writing for a ten year old!!! Wonderful. I know you are a proud daddy!
