Day 4: Horrid Creatures – Poem
A creature so horrid, so deformed, that it could not possibly exist in this world.
Yet, such a creature lay before me, still withering in its deathly spasms
Though its body was grotesque – its meat was plentiful
I had many reservations eating such a thing
Not only of its hideous appearance,
its rat-like tail and gruesome fangs,
And gruesome fangs,
but also for what it had devoured before its capture

Day 3: Luminescent Plants – Poem
All natural light is gone,
Save for a speck of precious yellow glow in the distance
Streaking between the branches above

Who knows what they are made of
What they are capable of
