Random Short Poems

Siren

Many leaves were blowing
Across the darkened night
I could feel like something was there,
Something remaining out of sight

I got up to my hooves
In order to look around
And that's when I saw it
A set of hoofprints on the ground

At first I thought them mine
But felt frightened (and rather dumb)
For then I did realize
That wasn't where I'd come from

The trees all about me
Started to groan and creak
As I followed the hoofprints
For the source I did seek

Nearly half an hour later
I found to my dismay
That I was back to where I'd started
And the prints had gone away

I simply said "screw this"
With this mystery I was done
And started trotting homewards
until it became a run

I'd been running way too long
When I stopped to take a rest
And then I saw the same surroundings
At that I digressed

Why does this keep happening
I yelled; running in a straight line
I quite frankly was positive
That I was mentally fine

No, this isn't possible
I said coming to the same spot
I could only feel like
In some labyrinth I was caught

Though nopony will read this
Still I wish to write
How I was lost forever
On that endless night
