Lost Narnia (A review in verse)

I looked for Narnia
just as I did for Neverland
except,
the path forked
and I was misled…

Was it Andrew Adamson’s
want of imagination
or the trite
good versus evil theme?
More of a forced
phantasmagoria
it did seem.

The lion,
the witch,
the sons of Adam
and the daughters of Eve
— all put together
couldn’t make me believe
in this tale
that C.S. Lewis
so adeptly tried to weave.

Not to give up
so easily,
into the magical land
I tried to cautiously tread,
I walked into
the wall
of the wardrobe
instead.


(For the uninitiated: The wardrobe in the spare room in Lewis' story is the walk-through to
the fantasy land of Narnia.)
