Narnia's Beginning: A Poem

Greetings, all!
Here is a poem that I wrote a few years ago. I based it off of the Magician's Nephew chapter when Aslan creates all the creatures and living things that inhabit that world. I hope you all enjoy it, and let me know it the comment section what you think about my poetry style! XD


Narnia’s Beginning
Based on The Magician’s Nephew, by C.S. Lewis
The land without light has begun
A place where not yet a tongue
Has spoken.
Far away, notes are dancing,
Tripping, graceful, bright, like the dawn
Rises o’er the black of night
To chase away the shadows.
Another chorus joins the first,
Silvery and cold, high and tingling
Like a flash, the stars appear
As if an ebony curtain, thrown across the heavens
Was pulled away by the icy music.
Now, glorious, the music mighty
Brings forth the golden sun on high
Laughing for joy, it heightens
And enhances the new world’s beauty,
Revealing the Master.
A Lion.
Golden, shaggy, light, and shining
Huge, warm, majestic, singing
His World into existence.
Softer, lilting, the music changes
Bubbling, sparkling, like a stream
That flows over the mountainside
Washing away the dust.
Grass begins to grow, creeping
Like a wave across a sandy beach
Springing up like a cricket leaps
Heather begins to increase.
Notes like a beam of light
Are singing through the breeze
Another instant the melody creates sweet flowers.
Deep, long notes are rumbling
Dark fir trees in existence.
The Song has changed.
Fiery notes are sounding forth,
Deep, rumbling scales are bursting out
Light, airy tunes are floating high
Soft, furry strains are being sung.
They are creating Life.
A tiny note has made a mouse,
A larger tune has formed a dog.
Sleek, shiny airs have fashioned cats,
While watery chants created Naiads.
And woody calls shaped out Dryads.
The creatures are made.
The music ceases.
The Master is still.
He opens His mouth,
And breathes.
Long, warm, moist, soft.
It sways the creatures.
The stars begin
A pure, cold music
Difficult to comprehend
Beautiful as silver,
Sharp as steel,
Hard as diamonds,
A flash like fire.
The Lion speaks.
“Narnia, Narnia, Narnia, awake. Love. Think. Speak. Be walking trees. Be talking beasts. Be divine waters.”
His voice shivers, tingles, quivers in the air.
It is done.
Narnia is completed.

  1. You know those poetry recitations that are in large public events in the Anne of Green Gables books?

    I think this poem is perfect for just such a recitation. I'm really picky about poetry, but I LOVE your style of it! It's like an epic, which are some of my favorite poems.

    Great job!

My Camp Nano Project: Of Seas, Silver, and Shipmates.

Greetings, all!  Since Camp Nano is almost over...HOW IS IT ALREADY ALMOST THE END OF JULY???...ahem, I decided to share a little of what I've been working on this month.  Introducing,  Synopsis Eden Claire is an orphaned serving girl in England. Living her lonely life working in the library of a boarding school, she begins to think that she must always settle for less, and that her dreams of comradeship, adventure, and sailing to unknown lands must slowly dwindle away to nothing. However, when an old forgotten acquaintance shows up on her doorstep with a note left to Eden by her father, those dreams might just become rekindled; dreams that will take Eden to wild escapades on the high seas. Eden must outwit the notorious Damian the Black Hearted and his gang of pirates in her quest for her father’s treasure, but she cannot do it alone-she will need the help of others. Can she learn how important true friendship is, even at the cost of losing the treasure…and
