Dreamworlds, by Amory McKeever




Upon the strength of Achilles shield
Grows an unrelenting wild
And over peaks that forever crest
Is the place of Homer's child

Far beyond the woodland realm
Past the world of mortal men
Deep beneath the Misty Mountains
Lies the grave of Tolkien's pen

From the reaches of a Silent Planet
Through a wardrobe portal still
Only Mr. Tumnus knows
Where to find the Lewis quill

Take the shortcut given by Mrs. Todd
You will pass a store of needful things
Follow the clues from the Losers Club
And you'll soon meet the novel King

From this dream you won't want to wake
A world full of might and magic
So different from the world we have
This unforgiving ball of tragic
