Replying to a comment on:
The darkest woods ever (Sonnet) by Shardik
They were the darkest woods ever
At least that I had ever seen
Trees with leaves almost of leather
Animals, that struck me as too lean.
So I quickened up my rigid stride
While my eyes scanned for some light
If I had a horse, full speed I'd ride
If my lungs were not so tight.
I never should have dared to trespass
God damn shortcuts are always wrong
Where is my boyscout with his compass?
Why is this taking so awfully long!?
Wait... Is that a light I see up ahead?
No... Just the moon climbing higher instead.
