Sapphic wolf! I was trying to think of an idea to incorporate the Greek theme, so I was thinking of various authors and figures... lo and behold, I remembered translating an adaptation of one of Catullus's poems in eighth grade and he called his lover Lesbia as a cover-up for the lady he actually fancied. He chose the name Lesbia because of a poet he revered, Sappho, was from the island of Lesbos. Latin class is fun. Henceforth, the Sappho-inspired RPW with the sapphic flag colors was born! I was going to give them a toga of sorts, but nothing looked right. The future owner is welcome to attempt it!

To try out for this RPW, you will need to tell me why they went to the woods. Interpret it how you want. There's no wrong or right answer -- I'd like to see creativity, actually! You can write a story, poem, or anything else! Just communicate in some way why they went to the woods.

No extras, but you're welcome to pretty-up your form. You do not have to make this RPW sapphic if you don't want them to be!

Why did they go to the woods?

If you listen close
At the edge of the trees
You'll hear a haunting melody
Riding on the breeze

Some claim it's a siren
Luring the naive
Some say it's a ghost
That haunts within the trees

But if you stop and listen
It's very plain to hear
Because the song that she is singing
Tells her story loud and clear

For though the woods were silent
For others that stopped by
She heard tortured screaming
That she could not ignore if she tried

So she often watched the trees
And try as though she might
She just couldn't stop herself
From going in one night

She had to know why they screamed
She had to know why she heard
Yet upon when she entered
Not a single thing stirred

The screams had come to a sudden halt
It'd never happened before
But she looked for a while longer
She just had to make sure

Yet still she found no one's existence
No secret, evil lair
So the poor girl turned back again
How long she'd been there, she didn't care

But somewhere in the dark woods
Melinoe got turned around
Somehow she'd gotten lost
Thanks to that awful sound

For days on end she searched
Not sure why hunger never came
She wanted out so desperately
Her fear she could not tame

But finally the poor Melinoe
Slumped down in defeat
She could not find her way back out
And so in the grass she took a seat

She hoped for some brave rescue
A hope never coming true
Yet as she sat there in silence
She thought she'd give a clue

A rescuer would need trail
Something to find their way
So to help them find her
She'd sing throughout the day

The song she sang was very old
She knew not where it came
Just that her mother sang it
So she would do the same

The words poured from her mouth
As she fumbled for the tune
But she soon got it going
And she hoped help would come soon

On repeat she sang her song
Waiting to be lead home
And while she did she thought about
The forest she did roam

"Please, someone please,
"Hear my cry
"This song once was
"My lullaby"

"Please, someone please,
"I've lost my way
"I need to get out
"Oh please, I pray"

"Please, someone please,
"I heard them scream
"But now they're quiet
"It feels like a dream"

"Please, someone please,
"I'm all alone
"All I want
"Is to go back home"

"Please, someone please,
"Help me get free
"Listen, please listen,
"Enter the trees"

"Please, someone please,
"Don't leave, my dear
"Please, someone please,
"I'm scared in here"
