Mockingjay by Peacock
Mockingjays are here, they are everywhere.
Just listen to them sing.
The songs they heard before, the songs they know by heart.
The songs you've heard before, the songs you've sang before.
They remember you, your face, your voice.
You sing along with them, reminding you that you are one of them...
You are the Mockingjay.

The Arrow by Peacock
The day I died was the day I lived, metaphorically, that is.
I found a hollow tree in the woods while running, I had to hide in it to get away.
Someone was chasing me.
It took everything I had to not cry from the terror.
How did I get myself into this? Now I remember.
I
was playing a game with my sister in the woods. She was running deeper
in, I had to stop her. She kept shouting back to me,"Come and catch
me."
But I couldn't, she ran too far ahead of me. Soon, she stopped shouting.
I
kept quiet, as I peered over the bushes to find my sister, on the
ground, with an arrow in her stomach, covered in a thin black veil with
primrose petals.
I'm sure she's dead.
There was figure standing over her. Maybe a woman, with a blue velvet hood, holding a bow.
I stepped forward to get a better look at the woman, and twig snaps.
She threw her head my way, her face was unseeable, but her eyes were as red as blood.

Crow by Peacock
Your ebony wings shimmer at dusk.
Your dark eyes seem empty at first sight.
Others say you are the creature of darkness & fear, but you carry the dreams of people who dream, like me.
Please, carry my dreams to somewhere, to a soul who could make them come true.
But for now they will stay in my head, my heart as I sleep, & hear the sweet sound of your ebony wings shimmering at dusk.
For now, sweet Crow, for now.

Rainbow Unicorns by Peacock
Most unicorns are born from water, fire, earth, and snow
but with lots of magic there is a rainbow.
Sparkle was the littlest unicorn.
Her sisters were Shimmer, Glimmer, and a brother, Lorn.
Some times they are mean, some times they are nice,
but they don't always mix, like sugar and spice.
They share all their magic, which comes from above,
there is one thing that holds them together, and that one thing is love.

Hypno Zebra Twins by Peacock
Once there were two zebras named Tic and Tack. One day they wanted to speak. "We are smart. We should ask the people for snacks," Tack said. Tic agreed.
So they asked, but people said, "No." So they walked together in a circle and said, "Give us food." And the people said, "Ok." And Tic and Tack were happy again.
The End.

Paparazzi Parrot by Peacock
Once there was a parrot named Scarlet. For her, the zoo was the red carpet. She thought she was one of the best. She posed, and one day, she wanted to sing and dance. But, she was not good. So she decided just to pose, and she felt all better.
The End.
The End.

Unicorns by Peacock
Unicorns are smart, kind, and funny.
They love to run when it is sunny.
They like to munch on rainbow carrots,
with friends named Harrot.

The Dragon Girl by Peacock
There was a girl names Thalia. She was poor, beaten, and had rags for clothes. One day she was walking down an alley. She saw a gorgeous mirror in a box. She picked it up and looked in. What she saw was amazing! What she saw was odd! What she saw was...
A Dragon!?!?!?!
