The Return to The Pridelands (A Lion King Sonnet)

Hey, this is a sonnet I worked on for almost an hour. It's aimed for the first movie, for the scene in which Simba comes back to the Pridelands and finds out what happened to his home.
----------

The Return to The Pridelands

As I neared my home; what a horrible sight
Just looking at it filled my body with fright,
In front of me, I saw a barren land
Just like a desert, only without the sand,
Despite the urge, I could not at all defy
The fact that lay there before my eye,
While I was gone my homeland slowly died
How could I have just left it all behind?
Upon moving closer, my body felt cold
I was not aware of what does my future hold,
The wind blew against me as I breathed
Smacking my face as if I should have leaved,
Curse the hell-hound who brought my kingdom into decay
And left not even a plant within miles each way.

Very nice, though shouldn't this be in the TLK section?

I was going to post it there, but the section's called Fan-Fiction, so I posted it here =o

I'm not a big fan of poetry, so it should mean a lot when I say that I was genuinely impressed. Great job!
And yes, it does belong in the Lion King section.

DGFone's right. Anything based on TLK is considered fanfiction.

Well, maybe I can ask a mod to transfer the topic in the fanfiction forum or something. Is that possible?

Sure. Just send a PM to a mod and they should take care of it.

You're welcome. It motivated me to keep writing my own poems.
