John Bunyan's Shed

entry picture

 

What valiant pilgrim would stand at this door,

Fearless of the evil lurking inside?

Fabled beasts of forest, mountain, and moor?

Good men and women have tried, failed, and died.

 

“There in be dragons” whispers the gnarled tree,

“And ghostly machines, for to dig ditches,

Dust coated vessels, tools of wizardry,

And weapons for knights, used to fight witches”.

 

Beset not our hero with troubled mind.

Bring forth the eight-legged, black bulbous-eyed beast,

The vile hobgoblin, dark trolls of all kind,

With giants she fights; they all taste defeat.

 

So, Cavalier of Fantastical Mind,

Shout, “Abracadabra” and step inside.

 

Please do leave me your thoughts and comments, in praise or constructive criticism, I appreciate them all and will reply.

Nazia, Aviva, thank you bother very much for your comments, I really enjoyed that one as it combines so many things for me and I never knew Bunyan wrote my school hymn, even if his words were changed later by Dearing. ?

Thank you also to those of you that liked this one.
