A Knight’s Tale from Archenland

This is my first feeble attempt at Narnian poetry, and I wrote this while driving to the office this morning. I guess sometimes traffic is a good thing.

Here is my story, said a knight with a snort,
About what once happened in King Lune’s court.
From out of the blue came two hundred horses –
It was that silly Prince Rabadash’s forces.

But we knew of this Calormene threat beforehand,
We were ready to fight for our dear Archenland.
We had help from our Narnian friends in the battle;
T’was over quickly. And when the dust settled,

A laughter arose – oh what could it be?
The Prince Rabadash, as neat as could be
Got caught in a hook! And now he was screaming
In anger and spite, with his lanky arms flailing.

They took him down, and pondered his fate.
They wanted to free him, but that reprobate
Still shouted at them, full of malice and fury –
Till the Lion showed up and made him a donkey.

Where Is Aslan? (A Poem)

Here’s a Narnian poem by Mike R which he wrote for me for my birthday. Thanks Mike R!

Where Is Aslan?

Where is Aslan? The untamed Lion gone.
The girl child has read the book, Gloriously
dreams of dancing fauns and talking horses.

Where is Aslan? Who sung the world Narnia
She has entered that world to become Queen
Ruling wisely and justly till she dreams.

Where is Aslan? Conqueror of Jadis
The child has grown and Narnia is lost.
Invitations and lace has replaced the song.

Where is Aslan? The Sleeper awakes!
Time has awoken, the stars have broken.
No longer a child, The Holiday has begun.
