Bold you are for venturing so near,
adventures lie ahead, you needn’t fear…
Sit down - have a cup of tea,
with the Bennets, let the mind run free.
Why choose reason? - have a heart.
Quick! Colonel Brandon will depart.
What of Hamlet? - his family seems great,
though, heads are dropping at an alarming rate.
In time’s carriage let us ride,
in childhood we jump - troubles set aside.
With Tom Sawyer down the river,
a thousand jokes he will surely deliver.
The Hard Times & Expectations we shall skip,
preparing for another trip.
The Land of Mordor, gloom and death above,
lucky us, a cosy little alcove,
mighty heroes there await,
following a noble fate.
What thought, broke the evil night,
if not friendship, with its undying light.
To a brighter time we fly,
with love, we conquer the sky.
Romeo and Juliet wave, ‘Hello.’
Little do they know…
The Brontë sisters left their mark,
igniting the Passion’s spark.
Another world - queens rule now,
to their accomplishments, we bow.
Lessing and Woolf could never bore,
and the heart begs for more…
But in dystopia, we landed,
luckily, we were not stranded.
A brave new world lies ahead,
diversity we shall not dread.
The Mockingbird for us now sings,
spreading its pearl-white wings.
And of magic, we will talk,
across the threshold, once we walk.
Romanticism is the new norm,
the soul, nature will transform.
In beauty, She walks,
a monster in the Sea stalks.
Fret not, a daffodil pick,
join Nick on a late-night trip.
An invitation has arrived -
let the party be revived!
To war, we pay no mind,
oh, this Gatsby is so kind!
Relish in the endless glamour,
ignore the fight’s clamour.
Dystopia they said, Utopia we got,
with telescreens and what not.
The world may seem charming,
but it looks a bit alarming.
When did books a nemesis become?
Where did Big Brother come from?
For rest, it is now time,
we have reached the land sublime,
of spaceships and adventure,
far less risky a venture.
Through the Galaxy, we hike,
what next would you like?
