The Wait
So long,
the waited date;
It seems to take an age.
A new exciting Disney film,
released.
I go and watch with hope and faith,
that fills my heart with joy.
Doors open forth.
Welcome.
I sit.
The room is black.
Anticipation grows.
The curtains open and screen glows.
The wait.
Adverts show; my excitement builds,
waiting for it to start.
The rating now,
not long.
Over.
The adverts done,
the movie starts to show.
The wait, finished, the film is here.
Heart leaps!
Eyes glued in anticipation,
I watch on, intently.
Soak in the fun.
Enjoy.
It ends.
the credits roll,
it did not disappoint.
Another classic in the files.
And now,
the wait begins anew again,
for the next great movie.
It’s worth the wait.
Stunning.

A Lesson in Technicolour
When young,
I often dreamed
of dashing princes, bold;
castles and magic, daring quests,
drawn from
all of the stories Disney told.
Imagination fuelled
my waking play;
vivid
Inspired
by characters,
so much larger than life.
Good and evil, right and wrong, a
vital
lesson, in technicolour, shown;
aiding me in real world
struggle and strife.
Teacher
Grown now,
Disney remains
stalwart companion,
helping bring forth my inner child.
Escape,
for when the world turns cold or gets
too hard to bear alone.
