Thickets by Araelyn on Newgrounds

Hey! To start this decade right, we believe Newgrounds should be ad-free for EVERYONE. For this to work, we need people who have the means to become paying supporters. For just $3 per month or $25 for the year, you can help this happen and get some nice perks!

For the month of February we have disabled ads on all E-M content. We need 216 people to reach our goal of 3,100 active supporters. If we hit that, we'll continue with a new goal in March!

Please check out our Supporter Upgrade and consider coming aboard!

Thickets

Grow on
Grow tangled
crippled and mangled
I wait and watch it grow
Blocking out the sun
the blindfold of branches
has only small holes
I peer through
I see my salvation
beyond the thicket

edit: Awesome! Who would have thought this little number would have made it to front page? I decided to do a little last bit of work at 6am a couple days ago. Guess it paid off.
Thanks to "whoever" decided this was front page worthy *wink*wink*
Don't worry Superman, your secret's safe with me.

Inspiration!

This piece has inspired the background and main character to a story I'm writing up. Thank you. I've been stumped on what to add as my background and what the character should like. But this, this is the thousands of words I've been searching for all on one page. The ginger hair, the saddened look, even the clothing of long tattered cloak and tall boots are perfect for what I'm looking for. Also the tangled woods with crows sets up the old English theme I was searching for. This story's gonna go great now. Maybe you'll catch on the Writing Forum some time, eh?

Araelyn responds:

That's so awesome! I'm glad I inspired you! I'd love to read what you're cooking up. You should link me when you have the time! :)
