Poem about Inkheart

Written by Emilia Tanti Rigos

It was a normal life for Meggie,

Until it all began

When one night at her window

On the street she saw a man.
 

On the hunt to find a book,

Not knowing where to look

But in the end Dustfinger manages

And the book and Mo he took.
 

What a traitor!

What a liar!

That nasty man of fire

Betraying Meggie and her aunt

His face scarred and gaunt.
 

At Capricon’s village,

They found out

Something Meggie hadn’t known

Something Mo had never shown.
 

Now Capricorn has

The man who can do wonders

With the words

>From books he ponders.
 

Money, Money

Fire, Fire

All things read out

Royal attire.
 

At last, they are free

But who should Mo need?

Someone that Dustfinger

doesn’t want to meet.
 

One morning

Mo and Elinor gone

In Meggie’s eyes

Fear shone.
 

Basta the baddie

Along with his laddie

Capture again

Both Writer and Meggie.
 

Let’s stay together

Stick with me

This story will end well

You’ll see.
 

On the way back

To that accursed place

Fenoglio sees

The sad look on Megg’s face.
 

While in their cage

They are both in rage

They had no other choice

But to turn the page.
 

While Meggie reads

In front of the crowd

The Shadow appears

Without a sound.
 

All was well,

Like a magic spell

All Baddies in Hell,

Even Cockerel.
 

I told you my friends,

That this would’ve been faster

If you had believed,

In happily ever after.

Wow! The poem really could be at the back of the book! Your poem truely is like a blurb or a little re-telling of a book! It’s a wonderful poem and I wish I could write like that!

Wow, this was really good. Almost like a miniature telling of the entire story in verse. Very well executed. Hope you continue writing poetry, you have a gift.
