Matthew Anish Poet Ballad

Tales of Wonder

Dazzled by the 
imagination of fantasists 
   we leave our homes 
temporarily 
    Enter into fantastic worlds 
filled with wonder and delight 
J.R. R. Tolkien brought us 
  to the perilous realm of Faerie 
Which holds danger for mortals
   Yet we wouldn't exchange the 
lands he showed us 
for a bucketful ot gold 
   There is a time for fantasy 
   Dreams become realities 
and we are encircled by 
the work of a modern master 
who has lifted us from the mundane 
    to the extraordinary

Kelly Deschler July 11, 2015 at 7:18 PM Life would become boring if we didn't disappear into a fantasy world once in awhile... Thankfully , we have amazing authors like Tolkien who can help us do that... I really enjoyed your wonderful poem, Matthew. Very nicely penned!

Andrea Dietrich July 10, 2015 at 9:27 PM yes, our own world, it is so magnificent, Matt!! Though it is wonderful to escape into enchantment now and then.
