Getting to know The Troll Clan of Haunted Fen

Aliva, Oma, and SnowPax have asked me to introduce myself and what I do in our clan so we can get to know everyone and not be so scary to everyone. Hi …my name is Word. I am from the troll clan number 6. Or we are called the Storytelling clan. There are 12 clans in total under 1 female. Our full clan in the Haunted Fen is made up of 1 troll from each of the 12 clans. I write poems and songs that the other trolls sing and dance together when the moon is full and we are sitting around the campfire. My whole job is to make stories about what I see and hear. I am living close to the edge of the Haunted Fen forest so I can try to hear the passersby and listen to their stories and songs they sing then I write my own poems and songs that fit us better. I can sit really still for many hours and then at night by the campfire I pull out my books and start to write. Some don’t make a lot of sense to humans but after about 100 years of learning to read and write Im finally making full books of our stories and poems and even some songs.

Sometimes, I draw inspiration from the whispering winds in the treetops or the distant laughter of travelers beyond the clearing. Each night brings new ideas, and with every tale, my collection grows richer and more colorful, reflecting the joys and mysteries of troll life.

Here is one of the poems I added to my new book.

IF YOU ARE A TROLL

If you’re a troll

Be careful and beware

Your nose is full of boogers

Your hair will give a scare

Clothes never fit right

And people will always stare

The smell of farts linger in the air.

But…….

If you’re a troll

You can go anywhere
