Do you too like reading to escape for a few minutes or for the true diehards
Free from the modern curse of Hypoprosexia
A few hours
Through poetry's heavily laden chest of mysterious things
Containing shiny jewels of such priceless wonders and visual experiences
Waiting for eager minds to race through like the Greek goddess of running
Atalanta
With such raw heavenly power
Tempting inquisitive eyes to wait in line with a great thirst like polydipsia
For seconds
Minutes or even hours
To be maybe hypnotised forever by enchanted words
As they appear
Cast like fishing lines with bolts of Zeus thunder
To then hold minds
Caught and captured in gilded written cages in pages
Captivated for a few seconds
Minutes or hours
By written spells to beguile
Through ethereal carefully crafted and erected citadels
Surrounded with such hypnotic wonders and smiles
From the hostile
Versatile and others flickering with such style
Is that why some still love poetry
And books like heavily laden chests
Filled with mesmerising dreamscapes to within wonder
For readers of old and readers of new
There will always be one favourite author
To take you under
Who's yours?
