Microfiction

Come away, said the trees.
Come away into the dance, away
from pain, from suffering.
The child listened,
the child went
into the woods.
Away.

Very well written. Makes you want to hear more, which any good story should do.

Evocative, sad, poignant. Excellent poetic writing!

Excellent MF! It hints at magic and faeries and something perhaps sinister. Very evocative.

I particularly like the "come away into the dance" line. A gorgeously eerie poem.

Have a great week.

Hmmm, has a haunting song like quality to it.

Maybe there's nothing dark - maybe it's just a girl allowing nature to heal.
