Why did I even attempt to help that man? Why was I so foolish? I should have smelt a rat. Complying with that request has caused me so much trouble. I should have been more cautious. Relating back to that incident, I felt how simple-minded I had been…

In the morning, the scorching and blazing hot sun shone mercilessly towards planet earth, baking the ground with a vengeance. Sitting in front of my study table, the menacing heat of the sun had already started to force body sweat out of me. Halfway through studying, I stared into space as boredom begun crept me. I decided to go down to the park beside my house for a stroll.

As I entered the park, the fresh air filtered my nostrils. The cool breeze caressed my cheeks. I witness cute baby birds chirping sweetly. The laughter and joy of the children in the park made felt a pinch of jealousy as they could enjoy their lives while I had to struggle with my studies. The park seemed more peaceful than ever with the fresh green grass and clear blue clouds filling the background.

At an instance, a man with a built-body came running towards me. He was wearing a dark-blue hoody and a shades. He had an ugly scar across his cheek. He had this crooked look in his eyes. He was holding a suspicious looking parcel. Panting breathlessly, he begun” excuse me boy, can you help me hold this parcel while I drive my car over to the roadside?” I gave him a quizzical look and then reluctantly agreed to help him. He gave me a creepy smile and thanked me for my help.

I waited for him for approximately 20 minutes but he failed to appear. I started getting anxious, worrying about where he had gone. Then out of curiosity, I decided to check out what was inside the parcel. I carefully opened the parcel and the most gruesome sight had befallen me. A bloody head, without a body, stared lifelessly at me. I threw the box in the air in shock and shrieked hysterically. I nearly puked at the

    "When I pointed to him his palms slipped slightly, leaving greasy sweat steaks on the wall, and he hooked his thumbs in his belt. A strange small spasm shook him, as if he heard fingernails scrape slate, but as I gazed at him in wonder the tension slowly drained from his face. His lips parted into a timid smile, and our neighbour's image blurred with my sudden tears.…

    Upon arriving at the state park, the beautiful trees of autumn welcome you along with the variety of faces unfamiliar to you, walking around care-free. The trunks of the trees were all sorts of sizes with multitude colors; the trees were particularly brown, like milk chocolate. While some trees were bare, others possessed a thick collection of leaves, fanning out like the mane of a lion. The collection of people walking among the fallen autumn leaves creates an everlasting sound—swish, swish, swish. The faint sound of the lake brushing against the sand murmurs in the distance, inviting you to…

    I take a walk in Wissahickon Park after dropping my twins at their school. The trails are muddy from heavy rains and temporary streams have formed along my path. (I have an hour before I need to open my laptop and get to work on my day job; not all poets do whatever they like.) The fuscia flowers of the redbud tree are brilliant against the green of early leafing shrubs. Birdsong is all around me. I note some of the birds--if they are bright enough and close enough to the trail or I recognize their song. A few chipmunks scurry among the leaves on the forest floor. A cardinal lights on a branch nearby, a red flash. A robin lands on the trail ahead, scraping his yellow beak against a rock.…

    …it occurred to me that the man had not seen me, actually; that he, as far as he knew, was in the midst of a walking nightmare...I was both disgusted and ashamed…Then I was amused: Something in this man's thick head had sprung out and beaten him within an inch of his life.

Often I’d lay my back upon the hard…

    The lake was surrounded by all kinds of trees: sugar maple tree, camphor tree,etc. At the center of the lake, there were a few huge trunks lied down the peaceful lake. On the trunks, there were some ducks “quack” around as if they were planning to have a sunbath party. Around those the ducks, there were a few birds hovering in the blue sky. The sound of chirping spread and penetrated quickly through the air, leaving the all forest the impression of both tranquility and delightfulness.…

    The sun shone vibrantly through the trees and I loved the way it complemented the gold leaves. I started to notice the incline to the top of the hill, it was steady unlike the Adirondacks where you go up and down. When I got to the top I saw a spectacular view of the surrounding neighborhoods and way in the distance I saw the buildings of Rochester. As I stood there I admired the pure beauty that lies so close to home. It is hard to believe that a wilderness like this one could be surrounded by suburban neighborhoods. Being higher up and in an open space I could really appreciate the mixture of golds, oranges and yellows it was different than being on regular ground level. I thought to myself ‘’I should do this more often, it’s peaceful and healthy.’’ I felt a certain peace with in me while I’m in the woods, suddenly my phone vibration broke my train of thought. It was my stepmom texting me to see if everything was okay, I replied yes and I’d be back at the trailhead in a short time. The leaves snapped and cracked under my feet on the way back and the crisp fall air made the not yet fallen leaves dance in the trees, it was getting later in the day. I was three quarters through the loop so I was still fine,I wasn’t…

We all need to beware of our surrounding, to be very careful about talking to strangers. For danger, violence, and even death can come disguised in familiar things as the theme in “Little Red Riding Hood” suggests.…
