This week we have a picture prompt. I want you to look really closely at it and get those imaginations working. What can you see and what do they mean? This about your adventurous vocabulary and powerful punctuation!
The shed at the bottom of the garden,
Walls of rotten wood,
Window panes, very dirty
The floor incrusted with dust!
It creaks in the wind,
However the shoes in the window stay deadly still,
The shed sways violently,
And cobwebs coat the window-sill in a blanket of mist!
The door wrestles the fearsome wind to stay closed,
You can faintly see the reflection of the terrace houses,
No light shines in the ancient, ramshackled shed,
But if you look closely through the dust incrusted glass, something is glistening int he corner...

I really liked the way you didn't make the poem rhyme to give it affect. Moreover it is great how you left it on a cliff hannger, it really made me want to know what it was! Next time you could use some more connectievs and use some more openers, but overall amazing!

the shed
At the bottom of the garden the shed lurks.The mammouth wimdows are ridden with dust .The ancient shed moans and groans .Neverthless, the window are encased in cracks and cobwebs; screeching in the brisk wind! Suddely, . A there was a flicker of dim light . There was a shadow . A Grammar phone silently played in the darkness...

Our Amazing Shed
At the bottom of my garden there's a shed. However, it is no ordinary shed! Legends have been around for many years about this mysterious building. Many, Many years ago this shed was brand new. It had a fresh, shiny coat of paint, moreover it had squeaky clean windows. Unfortuneately, now the paint is flaking away, the windows are encrusted with dust. Youn can only just make out the reflection of our modern house. By the window, there is a pair of light-pink Ballet Pumps, which once belonged to me. It could disintergrate any moment now!

100 word challenge
It looked like it was about to collapse.Iwalked around the shed to check if it was safe to go in.It groaned,it moaned.I couldn't go in but i had a feeling i should. My bike was in there! I had to go in and be audacious and save my bikefrom being destroyed.Suddenly the glass shattered into thousands of pieces.the wood creaked,the shed swayed. the sounds that it made were menacing! Should i go in now? Abruptly, it fell to the ground. Black smoke rose from the ground, where the shed had once been.

The abandoned shed was sitting alone in the garden.The decaying red paint was starting to crumble.The ruined trainers were sitting on the shelf waiting to be worn. Filthy windows so dirty you can't see through them. The reflection in the windows shows a house, which looks abandoned. Inside the shed there is a rusty ladder that hasnt been used. The roof , which has never been fixed , is starting to disintergrate. The brisk wind was blowing violently and the shed started to shake. This shed will need extra refurbishments from the new owners.

That Shed...
That shed in the garden,
Grandad shaid it's been through alot.
Even before Hitler was shot!
It's shabby, it's scary and its in need of a referbishment.
The peeling paint,
The rotton smell,
The cacks in the window,
Its all horrifying.
But since the first time I came I have had my eys on the shoes
pink painted fontidelli pumps.
Mist in the windows broken tiles on the roof
webs hanging down,
the roof soon to cave in
unknown shadowy figures inside
but wonder who?

Down the path is an ancient shed.The shed is a bergundy colour, It had three immeasurable windows.The windows were covered in grey dust. Behind the windows are a pair of innovative pink shoes. It was like they had never been worn.Doors appeared. It looked like they lead somewhere.Maroon ladders were there too, there was mould growing on the ladders.Dust covered the shed like a blanket.Screws came undone and they looked like they were used. A coat hanger was swaying back and forth. A decayed coat was hanging on the coat rack.

The brisk wind entered the miniture crack in the window. In the shed there are some new trainers. The wood, which is starting to rott, looks like it is about to give away. The glass is abruptly sharp and has fallen out. This must be abandand because dust is intruding on papers. Children don't dare to enter this shed, incase it comes crashing down with a mighty roar. There once was a brave man who dared to enter. He examined the shed, and found a old fragile man. He was not seen again...

As the crooked shed stood alone on the hill, the brisk wind flew through the air like a thrilling falcon. The wind echoed through the encrusted windows like a pack of frustrated lions who had lost their prey. The attracitve pair of unworn shoes sat on the gritty window cill.The boy boldly stepped forward, and entered the abondoned ruin.
The darkness pressed against him like a suffocating blanket. The boy ran upstairs rapidly.There was a statue with saucepan eyes, which looked straight through him. The statues hand was as smooth as glass.He was petrifyed. Suddenly, the boy vanished . . .

The Devils Shed
The shed swayed violenty in the wind. The tiles pealed of the roof like dead flakey skin. Bart and Bradly stood staring at the spine chiling shed. Bradly was sure he saw a terifying red eyed beast
peering through the window. The doore creeked open and the anxious pair felt like they were being draged in. As they entered, they stoped and herd fut steps comeing towards them. They heard a
little girl singing a lalaby. Sudenly they fell through the floor, they found there self in an abandoned city. The shed calapsed on them
and they were never seen again...

The shed was ancient, sitting alone in the abandoned garden. You could barely see through the dusty and cracked windows. The worn paint looked as if it had been violently scraped of the trembling, rotted wood. You could barely see a pair of brand new shoes ( which wer elumonous pink). Thre was a haze in the suffocating air, that was like a blanket wraped over you. The shed roof was encrusted with rust ( it looked like it was caving in). It was filled with cobwebs and spine chilling spiders. You could see an abandoned house in the reflection of the shed window.

Ellie and Gina wanted to ride on there bikes. Gina saw that they were inside of the dust-incrusted shed. Its windows were smashed,moreover the brickes were shatterd. the hinges on the broken door were bent and ramshacked.Then Ellie decided to peek through the window , Gina was frozen on the spot(her legs trembling with fear)."Dont be such a scaredy cat come inside with me,"whispered Ellie.Gina did not listen to her.Ellie walked inside nerviously.Suddenly,there was a big bang.Gina looked through the rusty windows, but Ellie was nowhere to be seen...

They heard an eerie sound,
in the shed.
It was 9 o clock,
they had to go to bed.
As the back door closed,
a voice said come in.
The children didnt know,
where it came from.
The girl named Daisy,
she walked up to the shed.
She opened the icy door knob,
to grab her pink shoes.
As she grabbed the shoes,
an icy, damp hand carrest her shoulder.
