Confessions of an Anglophile
Just a fangirl here, just wanting to talk about anything, and everything British. Literature, Actors, Brit inspired crafts; you name it, I will probably end up talking about it. But hey, I'm pretty sure the topic is worth speaking on.

Just so you know...
Hey all. I just wanted to point out that the fandom if Hobbitlock exists. It is real. Just wanted to point that out.

Potter Poems
Hey! How's it going? Good? Great!
So on to business...
So it goes without saying that when some one identifies themselves as an Anglophile, they love Harry Potter, also. Well, I do, very much so, and I was reminded of this fact whilst going through my writing from this past school year.
I found a collections of poems that I had sorta forgotten about that I had written for my Lit. class. I had entered them into a national writing competition and got an honorable mention for them. Needless to say I am very proud, (And I say that in the humblest way possible.)
Any, who. I thought I'd share them with you all. Let me know what you think!
*Note. These are the works of Myah Parker (me). Please do not plagiarize, or use any or all of these works without permission. THANKS! ^_^
Harry’s Love.
What is this
feeling inside my chest,
That makes me
stir and keeps me from rest?
Her face like
a raindrop, a flower in snow
At her call I
will run, to her side I will go.
Such sorrow I
feel when she tells me goodbye,
My stomach
churns; my eyes smart as I cry.
And when she
smiles, oh it brings me such glee!
Her eyes flash
bright and I am suddenly free!
Yet, alas,
concealed my love shall remain.
For when I glance
in the glass I cannot detain
I am boy with
a scar; not suited for her charm.
This simple
notion brings my soul much harm.
I shall miss
her crimson hair, her pale completion.
Oh how I wish
I could show her affection!
My case is
hopeless; there is not any help for’t,
To be with her
I must first destroy Voldemort.
The
Fall
A
quiet plea, the last on his lips
Bright
green light fills his eyes,
And
from the tallest tower he tips,
Crumpled
and dead, he falls from the sky.
His
white beard flaps, his spectacles shine;
A
blackened hand pokes out of his robes.
All
of his wisdom, his brain molded by time,
His
life lived full; never did he mope.
Many
lives he did touch; people loved him so.
Always
a spring in his step, phoenix in tow.
His
death will be mourned; of this night they will weep,
After
this tragedy, no one will sleep.
Was
this slaughter, or was it thoughtful plan?
His
blue eyes had no fear, just ideas for ahead
Yet
now he lies like a fallen bird with a large wingspan;
Face
relaxed, sleeping, in a soft, grassy bed.
Hogwarts
The sun sets,
glittering as it mixes with magic.
The giant squid’s lake
is far from tragic;
Mermaids swim far
below, singing their song.
Centaurs roam in the
forest, majestic and strong.
They made me believe in what was lost;
They brought warmth to my heart; melted the frost.
The stars are what guide them, but they guide me.
I look for them in every puddle, behind every tree.
Owls swish through the
sky, hunting for food;
Students sit down to
study, yet aren’t in the mood.
Paper quickly turns
into bullets; quills into swords,
All their troubles
forgotten until the morn.
Do they know how the made me feel?
That they gave me hope; made me feel surreal?
What are the chances? A million to one,
To have friends like them when the day is done.
A ten-foot man strolls
about the grounds,
By his side, his huge
blood hound.
As the air grows
colder, the pup loudly snorts;
The giant then laughs as they take in Hogwarts.
This
place is my home; it’s where I run when I’m sad.
When
I’m here it’s impossible to ever stay mad.
The
lovely moments I spend here I shall never rue;
Here
is where I fly; where my dreams come true.
The Curtain
By
the Arch of Stone dripping in dark
The
brave-hearted dog gives his last haughty bark.
The
red light hits him, freezing his face
From
the stone floor he tips, falling to space.
Through
the curtain he falls, to the gloomy hole
To
disappear forever, to be a whispering soul.
No
body will be found to place in a grave;
For
him it’s too late, nothing can be saved.
On
this side of the drape, hearts are broken.
Tears
come to eyes, but feelings are left unspoken.
While
several worlds have shattered, the earth still spins
The
battle continues, and now, for Sirius, they must win.
Basilisk
Mystic beasts roam the forest
floors;
All of them with fangs, claws,
poison, and more.
The moon men will howl, the pale
men will bite;
They all will give you a terrible
fright.
Now be warned that they are not
the only dark gliders.
You must be aware of the terrible
spider.
Big and black and awfully hairy,
Fifteen feet tall, and utterly
scary.
He has but one deathly foe,
With scaly skin and eyes that glow.
With a body that glides and mouth
that hiss
Is the giant snake- the Basilisk.
Hope you enjoyed these!

Case of the Cumber-Cold
So, to start off this blog, I find it necessary to pay tribute to my favorite actor of all time. He's gorgeous, talented, has a voice that sounds like a jaguar inside a violin, and I'm pretty sure he makes ever other man on earth feel inadequate.
I am, of course talking about the one, the only,
Benedict Cumberbatch
Yep. ;) |
I mean, hot dang, look at this smile!
( If you are not melting at this, then you obviously have not seen him act. If you have seen him act and do no love his face... Well lets face it... There is no way you've seen him act and NOT be head over heels. Now, for those of you have not seen him work his magic on screen, please do see him soon. Really, you have no excuse, Startrek is a huge hit right now, and Sherlock is fantastic, you'll be made fun of if you don't watch them. )
And TRUUST me. I'm not the only one love lorn. There is a whole fandom of us. A FANDOM!! I swear, Benedict is the first man ever to have a fandom all to himself. Would you like to know what we are called?
Or Cumberbabes depending on your preference. |
SO COME ONE, COME ALL, AND JOIN OUR FANDOM!!
Ok, done now. More stuff coming soon, but until next time fellow Cumberbabes!
