Real / Surreal

 

The history teacher talked about a war

where for jewelled castles battled the kings. 

A tale painted with a graphical lore

as myths were mixed with facts to make it bling. 

The students were drawn into this old world

where knights donning shiny armours galloped. 

To lure a queen - swords clashed and spears were hurled,

and anxious warriors with horses spurred. 

To some students this tale felt surreal-

it seemed a peppered story with false spice. 

No reel to prove real from unreal-

only from those history books to surmise. 

The teacher engrossed in fantasy prose-

Students unsure - to believe or to doze.
