Imaginary City

This is about the feeling you get when you get deep into a book.

White tones dance back and forth beneath hands

And elegant black dances under fingers

As sweeping winds blow into beautiful lands

Yet back towards home our eyes don’t linger

We know better than to feel afraid;

The sweet and familiar smells

Put us at total ease each and every day

And shows this land to be nothing but well

With bright colors and pleasant people,

With things we can’t find back at home

Like the castle-high stone steeple

That makes me glad to be alone

This beautiful place makes us feel bound

To it, with it’s smooth pale trees

And incredible discoveries yet to be found;

Abnormal but healthy inky seas

Able to carry us to far off places

On waves of intricately woven words;

Lands allowing us to imagine but never see faces

Through our journey in these impossible spaces

But some time, we must return.

We must take a breath and come home.

But each day, we realized we have learned

Something no one else could have dreamed of.

Amazing use of words.
"And incredible discoveries yet to be found;
Abnormal but healthy inky seas

Very good representation of getting lost in a story. It's amazing where ink on paper can take us. We can visit grand castles and see dastardly villains taken down, all without leaving the comfort of our own homes! Love the creativity in this poem.
