Current was swollen
But they were starving and weak
He took on the job

With grace and with fear
He strode down to the river
and leapt in with pride

He was strong, agile
but nothing could save him now
swept down like a leaf

He was cold, aching
lost in an unknown place--dazed
He stood, saving face

There was danger there
but he took on the world and
it laughed in his face

Broken, and tired
He stayed where he was to rest
disoriented

He lost everything
his mother, father, siblings
never to see them

[his failure to stay with/feed his family]

Prompt:

A gentle, cool breeze filled the night
But Stripetail's stomach was tight
He found himself trapped with Fish
His need to escape was his only wish

Fish clawed Stripetail's pelt
It burned as though he would melt
He wanted to run
But Fish wasn't done

Finally he saw his chance
Wary but unguarded, he took a glace
He dashed out of Fish's camp
He claimed himself a champ

Dashing to Silverstar
But her thoughts were afar
He called her name
Then her mind came

She greeted him with concern
Bringing him behind a fern
She treated his scratches
And placed cobweb into the patches

He told her about his adventure
And how it went to a misadventure
She licked his cheek
And passed him a bird with a shiny beak

He claimed it as a win
"I know it wasn't," he said with a grin
He is strong now
But cats still ask how

Prompt: A series of three or more quatrains

Through the snow-covered path,
past the frozen waterfall.
Out of the winds harsh wrath,
past the trees so tall.

Lies a clan covered in snow,
nestled amongst the ridge.
Hidden down below,
under the branch created bridge.

A clan built to survive,
whatever nature throws their way.
A clan that will thrive,
in the snow-covered clay.

When the short green leaf arrives,
the clan welcomes the break.
They take the time and thrive,
for leaf-bare will soon wake.

But Ridgeclan is built for the snow,
they are made for the ice.
A winter storm is a show,
and it's set to their pace.

So no matter the weather,
the clan will survive.
As gracefull as a feather,
and waiting for winter to arrive.

Drowning in the dark
And I find it hard to breath
Choking on my fears

I was but a kit
And you were my everything
I loved you so much

But you, mother dear
Could not possibly care less
Left me in the snow

You thought I was dead
But my heart still beat softly
Fueled by my hatred

My heart turned to stone
When you left it all alone
In the ice cold snow

I found you later
I wasn’t much stronger then
You faked love for me

But my heart was cold
I saw through your deceptions
No longer a fool

You asked me to come
Along with you to the lake
And so then I came

We went to the edge
Whispered honeyed words to me
Clawed and pushed me in

Drowning in the dark
And I find it hard to breath
Choking on my fears

Lies you fed to me
Oh mother dear, I love you
You don’t feel the same

Oh my mother dear
You have set my heart aflame
Time for you to pay

Swimming in the dark
And I find it hard to see
Blinded by the blood

Shadows surrounding
Darkness blotting us both out
My fears and your lies

Oh, my mother dear
I will lay your head to sleep
Because I love you

So despite it all
I hope your soul is at peace
Content in the stars

Rising from the dark
And I find it hard to think
I’m finally free

Marking for winner!

Haunting

Brave and wise, in the face of vicious wilds,
A tale of dire changing tide.
A deceit and loss, a child's
Unwavering naivety to law to which they bide.

A victory seeming so clear, that is to fall
Misplaced trust, blind,
Star's eyes, a warning through a murder's squall
Overbearing, a flawed sense of pride

A Lily burns in the winds of the North
Bringing a harrowing journey in sorrow,
A declaration of violence set forth
A possible peace, forfeit by the Sparrow

Petty betrayal,
Jealousy and cruelty
Leading a life of peril
All for the sake of claiming beauty.

The Wolf's bark is true,
Its bite however unforgiving.
Fear that begins to brew
Memories of pain he will be forever reliving.
(five quatrains in ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ formation)

Sorry for the delay, between work, rest, and being sick, whittling down forms took longer than expected. ^^;;
But congrats, Adamented! I'm on my phone and will be all day, but I'll have everything edited up front by the end of Tuesday. C:
