And then there were none.

A Poem

Wandering through the woods

where evil creatures lurk.

A pale girl frightened and scared

waded into the murk.

———————————-

The tide sped up,

the currents thrashed,

the poor girl was pulled under.

———————————-

Rain poured down and

into the thicket

wandered another.

———————————-

Thunder boomed,

branches crashed.

The second girl’s head

Was badly bashed.

———————————-

The third sister

tried to help.

But their fate was sealed

she knew all too well.

———————————-

The fourth sister tried to locate them

But wolves soon found her and devoured.

The fifth sister was no help at all,

for she was a vain coward.

———————————-

All alone in the house,

the fifth felt safe with glee.

Soon after she was haunted by her sisters

all saying, “Now you’ll come with me.”

———————————-

She ran and screamed.

She cursed and cried

But it was too late,

for she too had died.

———————————-

Dropping like flies,

one by one,

these sisters all died,

and then there were none.
