How I Spent My Last Sunday
Probably, with all the stress from school, homework, projects, assignments and the Board Exams, nothing other than a morning walk can (or at least is said to) relieve you of all your worries. After telling my sister about my stress, she proved to me that she was stereotypical; and forced me to join her for a walk in the nearby forest the next morning; as it was a Sunday.

And of course, just like any other forest, we could hear birds chirping, look and marvel at the chirping birds and insects, the dew settled on the delicate petals of flowers, and all of Mother Nature's gifts, which made me like this place even more. And, after sunrise, we could feel the warm sunlight on our face. Definitely, this was better than my idea of turning into a white-bearded saint in the Himalayas. I felt quite relaxed and I decided to stay here till lunchtime. On moving further, I came across a cave..

" DO NOT ENTER. TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED''. That's what the notice said.
Hmm.. how could a 14 year old be prosecuted? The juvenile court cannot do much for trespassing. I entered it along with my sister, who was just ten months older than me. And we thought that there would be no problem.

Darkness. The word which symbolizes sadness to many. But to me, it symbolized excitement. I got a feeling that something crazy was going to happen on that day. Something. But the cave was so dark!! IT felt as though someone had covered my eyes. The tiny light bulb in my head was turned on! Aha! I have a flashlight! I switched it on. I had forgotten about it due to my excitement, and the pain in my arm because of my sister's clutch. It worked on solar power. It was amazing. My father had got it for me from Japan. However, it had one drawback. It worked only for two hours at a time.

As we walked in further, It felt like deja vu! I was surprised at what I had seen! Two loaded rifles!Okay, why were they here? Are any bad guys around? Goons? Thieves? Hunters? Murderers? Christ! All this

    A slight breeze blew throughout the dandy forest, swaying the stiff lifeless trees and blowing the black stained leaves across my bare white feet. As I stumbled across the dead landscape, a slight fog swam around blending in with the increasingly falling snow. Hundreds of dark wood surrounding me seemed to slowly cave in, creating a narrow cave-like passage. An eerie feeling swept over me, and I stopped completely, analysing every detail around me. The smog became thicker, blinding the scenery and almost completely covering my vision. I sensed an inhuman presence watching me, and flinched whenever a snapping sound came from a faraway distance. I slowly turned around and began pacing in the direction I came from. The fog smothered me but I kept running,…

    The wooded area surrounding the park has a mystifying feel with the sun setting and the strange odor of a dank basement coming from its small pond. The air feels sticky and warm this time of the year and the trees blocking the breeze makes it even more muggy than usual. The open and empty field gives me a feeling of isolation and the darkening skies has an ominous look. I can hear the shrieking muffled sounds of animals nearby, but without being able to see what’s beyond the blurry tree line, it’s hard to know if what I’m hearing is wild and aggressive or tame and timid. I can taste the musty fall air on my tongue as the breeze…

    I take a walk in Wissahickon Park after dropping my twins at their school. The trails are muddy from heavy rains and temporary streams have formed along my path. (I have an hour before I need to open my laptop and get to work on my day job; not all poets do whatever they like.) The fuscia flowers of the redbud tree are brilliant against the green of early leafing shrubs. Birdsong is all around me. I note some of the birds--if they are bright enough and close enough to the trail or I recognize their song. A few chipmunks scurry among the leaves on the forest floor. A cardinal lights on a branch nearby, a red flash. A robin lands on the trail ahead, scraping his yellow beak against a rock.…

    The lake was surrounded by all kinds of trees: sugar maple tree, camphor tree,etc. At the center of the lake, there were a few huge trunks lied down the peaceful lake. On the trunks, there were some ducks “quack” around as if they were planning to have a sunbath party. Around those the ducks, there were a few birds hovering in the blue sky. The sound of chirping spread and penetrated quickly through the air, leaving the all forest the impression of both tranquility and delightfulness.…

    I celebrate with others who love wilderness the beauty and power of the things it contains. Each of us who has spent time there can conjure images and sensations that seem all the more hauntingly real for having engraved themselves so indelibly on our memories. Such memories may be uniquely our own, but they are also familiar enough be to be instantly recognizable to others. Remember this? The torrents of mist shoot out from the base of a great waterfall in the depths of a Sierra canyon, the tiny droplets cooling your face as you listen to the roar of the water and gaze up toward the sky through a rainbow that hovers just out of reach. Remember this too: looking out across a desert canyon in the evening air, the only sound a lone raven calling in the distance, the rock walls dropping away into a chasm so deep that its bottom all but vanishes as you squint into the amber light of the setting sun. And this: the moment beside the trail as you sit on a sandstone ledge, your boots damp with the morning dew while you take in the rich smell of the pines, and the small red fox—or maybe for you it was a raccoon or a coyote or a deer—that suddenly ambles across your path, stopping for a long moment to gaze in your direction with cautious indifference before…

    I turned around for a split second. Behind us was a human in a thick furred coat. While he had some sort of crossbow in his hand pointed at the sky, that wasn't the biggest weapon he had.

    A few days ago, I moved to Loonigon Street. It was named after a loony that lived here a few hundred years ago. On an autumn’s day, I went to a shop to buy some milk and bread, which will help me to know the way around my new neighborhood. As I walked on the sidewalk, I saw an entrance to a forest. I was curious so I stepped into the woods.…

    The bright blue background and High Mountain tops over 10 feet taller than me standing at 5’8’’. The slightly chilly breeze that lightly brushes my skin leaving small goose bumps throughout the surface of my whole body. The sound of the waterfall and view of the lake so translucent I can see the yellow fish all the way to the bottom. The trees singing in the background mimicking the echo of the water. The dirt soft and warm in-between my fingers from the pulsating raises of the sun. The rays drift in and out from the cover of the small puffy white and gray clouds. There is an overview of the city and tiny bugs in my peripheral vision that fly above me, there I sit on the mountain side with only the company of myself. I mentally evaluate my…

    It was full of life and flowers and bright. I thought that it would be gloomier. I was okay with it. It made me more happy and it made me feel lifted up. I also realized something. All of a sudden I could hear again. I had no idea why. I thought something was going on here, but I didn't know what. As the other people got off the flight, I followed them. I assumed they were going to look at Stonehenge too. It was a long and strenuous hike. Walking over tons of hills and in between trees. A little bit later all of a sudden there was a wide open grassland. It was something I had never seen before. The rolling hills were covered with green grass that went on for miles. It was beautiful. I was in shock. The small hills were filled with herds of sheep and a few cows scattered here and there. Long in the distance between two hills I saw stones. Although they looked small from far away, I knew they weren't. Everyone gathered their stuff and headed over. Every step of the way I became more excited.…
