Homework is to continue reading poetry of old
Home leisure, it is not work to me this week
Retracing the steps I made before, Tolkien again does unfold
Once more I am entranced by the realms of fantasy I so oft seek
As a great hero, Bilbo must surely be a contender
Battling against all fell of Middle Earth, I’m in heaven
Thank you tutor, its been such a treat for this pretender
Its been too long since I have dwelled with the Kings Elven
From Peter Pan to Frodo, Rincewind and Aslan
The magic is alive once more, my heart beats rapid
Myth, legend or pure imagination, I am a true fan
Make my mind work, live the dreams and never vapid
Does this mean I dismiss the writing of different style?
How can I with the likes of Shelley and Shakespeare?
There are times it is these words that make me smile
There is a place for all my moods in my brain’s sphere
Fantasy is my literary first love, that is too true,
I believe it is likely it will also be my last
For the times I need to escape, break from. the blue
The realms of fantasy take me there so fast
