Mother's Tale
September 13, 2012
"An apple a day keeps the screams away"
My mother would tell me at night
She'd whisper to me the words of the wise
On moonlit foggy nights
There we sat in the tower atop the cliffs that were so high
As the tendrils licked the stony side of the castle of she and I
And to this day I remember those nights so clearly in my mind
Mostly because the tales she'd tell were anything but kind
Heed her warning she'd scream to me and dare not forget them I try
So I shall remember the tales till my last breath: the day I die

Very visual. I loved that you described the scene. I could picture it very easily. The part where you used the word "kind," that seemed a little awkward. It seemed you were looking more for the rhyme then an actual adjetive that would have made it a little bit more clear. Overall, it was very enjoyable.
