Paint Chip Pieces

By the Pond

                    The first time I went to that pond I was going to just sit and have some peace and quite.  The pond was actually blue back then.  As the years went by people started abusing the pond and the animals living in it. It started with kids throwing their trash in to the clear blue water.  As this continued the water turned murky and green and some of the wild life started dying.  A local chemical company, called Ace Chemicals, started asking the city council if they could dump their waste in the pond, thinking that all the wildlife was dead because there was so much pollution already.  The city allowed this to happen because they where under the same assumption that all the animals in the lake had died or relocated.  No one knew, though, that there was one frog left in the pond when Ace Chemicals started dumping the waste in, and that frog would mutate and change into something terrible.

                      I had just started as a cop in the town where this was taking place, and I was the only one that saw it coming.  After people started going missing in and near the pond I started to investigate. And that's when I first saw him.  He was giant, taller than any man, and he was green.  He was the frog that stayed.  I saw him lurking in the deep, almost like he was watching me, and waiting for something.  I knew then that he was the reason for the missing people and tried to tell everyone about it but no one believed me, they all thought I was crazy.  Then the day came when he was ready.  Ace Chemicals had an unusual amount of waste that day, and was like it strengthened him.  He destroyed everything, some made it out alive but we lost a lot of people to the monster.  Now that everyone fled no one goes back for fear that he will come out of the pond again.  The town is now a ghost town, and the Frog Kings domain. 

Acrostic Poem

                    Summer is over, and simply

                    Put

                    It's nice the weather has

                    Cooled down.

                    Everyone is wearing jackets now, and the

                    Days are getting shorter.

                    Pumpkin patches are opening

                    Up again, and that really

                    Makes it feel like fall.

                    People are spending more time outside, trying to

                    Keep time from taking the season away.

                    In short, Autumn is

                    No ones least favorite season.

The Frog King is big

Created from toxic waste

He looks for revenge

Macaroni balls

I make with my dad and eat

they are delicious

7 Line Poem

A first morning dew in Europe is something to behold.

Seeing it on an acre in Scotland

from a summer house is calming.

The dew itself makes the grass look vintage,

not courtly like it is when dry.

The dew magnifies the color, becoming almost noble.

It looks like a racing green.
