A poem written with love to one of my favourite children’s books, the Harry Potter series.
Potter Who?
He has nightmares and fears,
He wakes up in tears,
The dementors float like the wind,
They come for him, they come.
The flashbacks arrive, fierce as a lion
Descending upon him like a merciless flattening iron
A flash of green light,
Sudden screams.
What does it mean?
Compelled to face his past,
With patronuses and magic spells that last,
In order to solve the mystery
who exactly
Harry Potter is, the boy who lived.
