In the forest, not far from home
An aubade surged through the trees
A girl was playing in the grass
When she heard a beckoning
And with that call she left her home
For a forest depth unseen
To find herself in wonderland
Oh, a wondrous little scheme
Beneath the green she saw something
A gift left on a branch
The further she went into the deep
The less she could tread back
For with each step amongst these trees
Little did she know
Her soul was taken by the handful
In exchange for a life unknown
The creatures that sang the song of dawn
Were not of human form
Their souls were taken, like this one
By a spell that cursed the morn'
As the girl approached the gift
Her hands did taunt the beasts
"Please, don't take it!" They cried to her
So take she did with ease.

You're really great at setting an atmosphere for your poetry. I'm not good with poems, but yours is top notch in my eyes. Good job, Richard!
