This is a multi-verse haiku I wrote for a poem competition run by the school library in 2014. Uploading this as an example of poetry for my commission info.
[hr]
Running through the trees
They pursued us rapidly
Crashing through the plants
Then we reached the end
Of the ground, we turned around
And saw them coming
Trusting in him with
My very life, together
Down the cliff we jump
Ground rising up fast,
The fall is terrifying
Though I will be caught
Wings appear below
The enormous winged lizard
Halted my plummet
After us, they cried
“You have sided with them now,
You will be hunted.”
Knowing they were right,
Away through the sky we soared
For ever alone
