Here's a poem I wrote just the other day in my quite place. The woods beyond my home.
A Walk
Trees sway in the cool air
As I walk this path here
In the woods beyond my home
I'm afraid of the garden gnome
The little guy with his jolly grin
Terrifies me, and I know he's alive
Yes. He roams now, just beyond sight
In the thick brush to my right
I can hear him panting as he keeps pace with my stride
He walks with me often, in these woods
He wants me to help him
But what he wants, I can not give
He wants my life for his
He wants me to die
I don't know why he chose me
I don't know why he bothers me so
All I know is that I must keep walking this path
I mustn't let him trick me
For evil gnomes are tricksters you see
So I walk here, in these woods with my strife
I walk...to save my life....

I like this. I also think this could be branched into a story with the gnome.
"He roams now, just beyond sight in the thick brush to my right."
This could be a Twilight Zone story.
Thanks Christina!
That's a great idea, actually! I just might give it a try. Twilight Zone huh? Perhpas I will. Thanks again!
Your writing intrigues me. I'm bookmarking so I can come back and read more. Horror isn't normally what I enjoy, but I like good writing. And yours is good.
Wow! Thanks Travis! I'll be checking out your site too! Good to see you here!
Thanks again.
This was very clever Lucas, I like it.
Have you ever considered trying your hand at a graphic novel? You wouldn't need to split the cash with an artist.
Hey Chuck! Wow! Nice to see you stop by!
Actually, I have considered writing a graphic novel. That or a comic book. It's just that I hear getting published in that field is much harder than publishing a novel. I don't know, it's only what I heard. I have a small portfolio with a fair beginng to a graphic novel. I don't know.
Good thing I don't have a gnome or I'd be bothered during my woods walk today. Of course, I do have a garden frog. I wonder...
Lol!
Yeah Charles, I hear those garden frogs are even worse. Keep an eye on it. If you see move, well, then I'd say smash it with a sledge hammer. Remember, this sort of stuff isn't always your imagination....or is it? Thanks for stopping by Charles!
As usual, great work and I am so impressed by your drawing talent. Thank you for sharing that, Lucas.
Thank you and you're very welcome Susan. Nice to see you again.
I have a really short assignment on my blog for you, like 2-3 sentences. lol. ^_^
Don't even give it a second thought if you are busy but it sounded right up your alley.
Great work, Lucas. :) I loved the illustration!
