I wrote a poem for a prompt 'Write a poem that doesn't include the letter a.' It's inspired by a certain book and uses events from it. Because I had no other ideas. I hope you enjoy.

The Lion's Help
The Lion eyes him.
He doesn't meet his eyes.
He never does.
School embittered him;
She embittered him.
But the Lion's look
Is stern yet gentle
He looks up, slowly
He meets his eyes
The world's right now.
'Here is your brother. There is no need to fight over memories.'

Getting up early isn't all it's cracked up to be
Getting up early isn't much fun;
Rubbing sleep out of your eyes,
Yawning
Never allowed to forget the day isn't yet dawning.
Off to wherever, the station, or school
Or work, or uni
- I feel like a fool.
Another yawn
Before the dawn
Still in the darkness of night
But lo! the morning
The morning - and I am still a Ghost
- And few understand what I mean.
Before the dawning the sky is lit up
A promise of things to come
And something like lightning across the sky
Before it bursts into golden flame
The clouds rippling like the wind-tossed strands of a Lion's mane
- Getting up isn't so bad after all.

(Note: I think I have Lewis on the brain. There's a brief reference in there to two of his works. Can anyone identify them? ;) )
