Books are so amazing. Hope you enjoy the poem.
Oh The Places
You’ll Go
I
read my way through stories
Which
saturate my soul
And
I long that I could be there
Through
those magic lands I’d stroll
I’d
love to see the Isle of Berk
In
the Barbaric Archipelago
Where
Vikings sang and dragons flew
Through
skies I’m sure I’d know
Or
Hogwarts Castle shining bright
Against
the backdrop of the night
And
stare up at lake sodden stars
And
point at light blue flying cars
Or
walk along the great stone Wall
With
talking cats and living Dead
Whilst
1920s England doth reside
Upon
the other side
Through
Ancient Rome
With
kid detectives
Or
the ruins of London
With
zombies infective
Great
cities trundle
Through
muddy wastes
Pursued
by a girl with
A
ruined face
Twelve
year old genius
Almost
starts a war
With
the race of fairies
Beneath
the floor
Seven
demesnes
Seven
Trustees
Combined
form the House
Ruled
with seven keys
A
million fictions
I
long to explore
When
I no longer watch
But
step through a door
Well I can give you a list of all the books I mention.

ReplyDeleteBooks are more than books. They are reflections of our lives and what was and what could be and what maybe is! They are whole other worlds that you can go to whenever, where ever.
