No More Fairy Tale Lands

By bdgrey

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

They say a world full of fantasy sights, cannot exist outside the creative mind. The works of Tolkein are of no reality, no Star Wars, no Spaceballs will ever become true. What you see is what you get, in this world of loathing detriment, or so they saying is told by those mentally bleak. Man-made structures ascending and filling the sky, with unnatural light blocking the stars at night. So there must be nowhere where fairies glow bright, or a place in which mushrooms dance away their plights. A land where hobbits coexist with trolls and nymphs, and certainly no land where a fair Princess lives, awaiting for her Night in shining armor, or that furtive Prince Charming. It is so crazy to fantasize about life, in a shoe or even in a glass bottle blown by Kai Wren. No fourth dimension lost between here and sane time, with a rabbit playing and drinking tea with old friends. Well that cannot be true, because we do not dream what can't be done. So that is why every night as I sit and think, images work in my mind and I put them to life. Somewhere between here and Narnia, exists a land full of Gingerbread houses and Shrek's. Somehow we just have to find it.This one was very fun to write, and very fulfilling. The way the creative mind works is completely astounding. The mountains described in "Lord of the Rings" or the "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" with Aslan. Fantasy has been a part of society since before society began. Homer and is Odyssey and Illiad or Native Americans and their Petroglyphs. Not sure what this poem means exactly, but I enjoyed writing it, and I hope you have enjoyed reading it.
