Time flies by

wrapping up this year

Tick Tock goes the clock counting down the minutes

Night

 Moon beams weaving through my hair

Star light shines through the dark

Blue night dreams hang heavily in the air 

Singing like a lark 

The night envelopes

And sleep developes 

Goodbye for now sweet serenade of night

I go to rest until the daytime light.

Travels of the Red Umbrella Girl

My entry  to Maddie May's story contest go check it out and maybe enter!


Chapter 1

I walk low I walk high

I'm the Red Umbrella girl

One step forward, destination nigh

I'm the Red Umbrella Girl

I travel from England, to Italy, and Paris

I'm the Red Umbrella Girl

I've walked the beaches below the golden Terrace

I'm the Red Umbrella Girl

Follow me on my travels through Europe 

For I'm the Traveling Red Umbrella Girl

It is snowing, and snowing hard in London  this chilly afternoon and I feel glad of my red umbrella. It seems almost that I am the only one out this chilling afternoon and I am rather upset about it for I had wanted to report the happenings to you jolly good people. Yes indeed today my travels take me to London England and my fingers are so frozen that I can barely write, oh haha no actually it isn't very cold but it is snowing dreadfully hard so I can barely see the white paper I am writing on *smile*  I've just ordered a steaming cup of coffee  and am now setting down my pen to drink it.

Cheerio 

The Girl With the Red Umbrella

The Closed Forest

It was the forest, and it was closed. No one could enter and no one leave, you wouldn't expect there to be anyone  there "to" leave but there was one girl, a girl named Akira Rose and she was a Princess the Wandering Forest Princess.

I closed my eyes and took in the morning air, everything was sweet and fresh and new. My orangish hair was damp with morning dew and I could see drops clinging to my long lashes, exactly how I liked it. Up above the sky was still darkish and an owl hooted from the trees things were silent...and lonely but I couldn't leave I had to wander forever  and ever it was in my blood or so that's what Aggy had said but then again you couldn't believe everything an old tree woman says. (when I say tree woman I mean a woman who lives in a tree not a woman who is a tree or even a woman who lives high in a tree Aggy literally lived inside of a tree.)

I kicked away the dry leaves under my feet and adjusted the moss covered reef that rested on my head then very suddenly a light flashed, at first I had no idea what had happened but then I knew..."The Forest was no longer closed."

Just thought I would post that cause it's winning in the polls.
Hope ya liked it let me know what you thought.

Until Next Time

Merry Christmas from Me, Ani, the Family, Summer, Autumn, and especially Winter Merry Christmas to everyone!

 

 

Don't forget to remember the true reason 

We celebrate this joyous season.

Merry Christmas Everyone, Have a Good One!

Maria Penn

Hello, Hello it's me Winter and I've got another part of my story Ice Skating Dreamers for you!

Ice Skating Dreamers ~ Maria 

Before I write my little part of this story I'll give a sort of summary of me like Marissa did okay...okay.

My Other Skill Besides Skating: is writing poetry and stories but I also like to edit stuff

I Live in: A slightly large home with a living room with large windows that looks onto a little lake. I live here with my two siblings and parents

My Favorite Food: is Italian pasta's 

My Favorite Place:  The huge old fashioned library in the center of town (they have so many good books!) 

Now onto my part of this story...

I tightened the strings of my skates as me and the rest of girls stepped out onto the ice instantly Karina announced that she'd signed us up for the town skating contest, I smiled and skated out to the center of the lake laughing out "Marissa is sure to win." but Marissa didn't look so eager in fact she looked like she wanted to get out of it, but after much convincing it was settles that we'd all be in it and try our hardest and whether we won or not wouldn't matter we'd make this a fun event not just a contest to get all competitive.
I rubbed my cold rosy cheeks as I thought about how talented the other girls were I knew I was probably the least talented of all of us but I was going to practice anyways.

The day seemed to speed by and I thought forever about the skating contest but I couldn't think all day about it because we all needed to get back home and wrap the rest of the presents we'd gotten for family and friends and I needed to prepare for the Christmas program we were putting on over at my house (it had been agreed that the girls would spend Christmas with me cause all they're families were way out of town and we'd all decided at the last minute to do a Christmas program for my parents and sisters Ana and Larisa)
anyways I had to get home so I said my goodbyes and rushed off towards home.



With a Merry Christmas Eve I Bid You All Ado.

or

Answer to the Riddle

And the answer is wood or tree wood if you will so everyone who guessed was right!

Treebeard is mostly for my brother, he doesn't really apply to this cause Treebeard can talk and attack and hug Orks to deaths hahaha 

anyways

The Doors

The Doors

The Doors to places only in dreams

The only doors it seems

That can take you anywhere

But cannot take you home

 The door where light envelopes

And imagination develops

 The door to other worlds

such as those in books

This door that glows with brillant light

Then when you enter takes you out of sight

The KEY to strange and curious travel

And if you have the actual key well

 I'll leave that for later.

A Poem for a Story I've been working on with Storyteller.

Until Next Time

This is Crazy

To: The Readers

From: Ariella Corden

Here I am and then I'm there

In another time 

Where am I, could be anywhere

For a time the life is mine

I'm a Princess, a Queen, a Servant Girl

or am I none of these

It all goes so fast my minds a whirl 

Could someone explain this please

It's all so very ridiculous and strange

I can't seem to figure it out

I set my sights on all clues in range

I musn't pout

Maybe soon this will all make sence

Though chances are very slim

And who knows the consequence 

My heart is teetering on the rim.

The Tiny in Tears and the Tall in Terror Part 2 

I turned back to the window for what was really only seconds but at once I felt the change again I bit my lip praying this was homeward but when the purple rainbow liquid subsided I was in another castle. I could have screamed I was so angry I was still staring out the turret window....okay more like glaring out the window my grip tightened on whatever it was I was holding. I whirled around and stared at the younger girl who in turn was staring at me.

"I want to go home!" I declared loudly. 

The girl stepped back and stammered, "I....Your Highness...you can't...Pr-Prince Phillip will be here soon."

I frowned at her.

"I don't care! I don't want to see him, I want to go home"

The girl began to twist the sleeve of her gown like she was wringing out a wash cloth. "But-but your majesty thy parents will be sore mad." I rolled my eyes they weren't actually my parents besides the thought of meeting this Philip gave me shivers and I had no idea why.

"Then we shan't go home we'll go somewhere else where I can find my real home!" 

The girl began to cry.

"I dist know you didn't agree to this and that thy parents forced thee to go but I never would have guessed thee to rebel."  I laughed but it was a sad laugh because I'd had enough and wanted to go back home Time Travel was ridiculous. When I said the tiny in tears you may have guessed the tiny was my little maid and when I said the tall in terror I should have said the tall was a terror I regret most of my snapping now but truly things were not going my way that day. anyways back to the story.

The girl began dabbing her face where the tears had left stains and I closed my eyes and imagined myself home in bed, thankfully when I opened them again it was so. I fell face forward into my pillows for some reason I was terribly tired but I didn't want to go to sleep...after all Sleep is another form of Time Travel. Suddenly something hard appeared at my fingertips I glanced over, it was.... a book? It looked old I opened it up to the first page and written in the fanciest cursive I'd ever seen was this:

To my ancestor Ariella.

To Remember that "Dreams are not Dreams and Reality isn't Real" also "Everything a Time Traver See's That is What She Be" keep on trying my dear soon you may understand.

Yours Truly

Marisiella 

What could this new clue be...I could only wait and try to figure it out who knows maybe one of these was the secret to controling it. I flipped through the pages a little more and gasped when I saw a story that was all to famillar

The Princess and Prince Phillip (a true story only I'd call it The Princess and the Crying Maid) 

Princess Ava Constantine (Ariella)

Sincerely

Thanks for Reading
