The Labyrinth

Lifeless light in the dark room,
After your entrance is your doom.
Bones crumble from the human skull,
Your nearby death is with the Bull.
Rocks falling, archways stood,
Inky trails of dripping blood.
Nothing living, nothing breathing,
The quiet snorting of the killer thing.
He's here, quick get out. Their lives are over without a doubt.

The Labyrinth

Lightless room with a rolling skull,
Arrive brave warriors, see a human bull.
Being very silent, without a tear,
Yippee! Hurray! we're really very near.
Room so dark with a ghostly green glow,
Indeed they're there and someone else is! Oh no!
Near the door they try to find their way,
Truly wanting to see the light of day.
Hurrying round where they are lead; sooner or later they are dead.

By Maisy, aged 10

 

Ariadne

Ariadne had sailed away
Right to the maze where the minotaur lay
In the maze with a ball or string
And out the other end "I've killed the thing"
Done it now, I've finished the quest
Now back home for a nice long rest
Early morning, home sweet home

By Ruby, aged 10
