In the Corridors of Fantasy

Walking through doors
to a strange land,
the corridors ahead
spread out like hands


I went to the left
and found the dark,
creeping around 
some foreign part


Retracing my steps 
I went back to the light,
thinking which way
to get out of this plight


I found a corridor
lined in gold,
between the pages
and beneath the folds


Black Orchids are flowering
red poppies too,
bluebells in rainbows
and pink cockatoos


Faery’s are dancing
to a dragon track,
and elves are drunk
from drinking jack


Gnomes with cigars
and long white beards,
laughing so hard
the next county can hear


Giants with bats 
and balls,and mitts
a baseball game
even I cant miss


I made a bed
under the weeping tree,
and watched in awe
as fireworks set free
