[Rhymer]

Throughout The Ages of Gaia, many changes made,
have intrigued and mystified the sober and staid,
so this will be A Tangled Tale I now weave,
of Sylvie and Bruno who, would you believe,
were Listening to The Music of the Spheres,
when The Canterville Ghost too, so one hears,
was accompanied by The Young King,
just as The English Patient, joined in to sing.
Next The Fisherman and his Soul-ful dirge,
brought The Selfish Giant, to the very verge
of tears! This on a Small Island, where he’d overheard
the God of Small Things, tell a passing bird,
that the Rape of The Fair Country, where
Angel’s Ashes were being strewn, here and there,
had caused The Blood of Flowers to flow.
Surely this will be a heart breaking Tale of woe!

Hi Dennis,

Glad you picked up on an older challenge. It's nice to see others take up the gauntlet. I've no critique, as it were, but have one suggestion. Don't capitalize the "Book Titles". It reads much better with normal typing and if someone wants to search out the titles used, they have your references at the bottom of your poem.

Very pleased you made an effort (and a good one) to use end-rhymes. I enjoyed the story very much.
