Ode To English Literature

By Ms.M.Kiruthika Devi

Despite all the courses in the educational field

I have chosen YOU!

Not due to my desire

But because of compulsion and career!

My first class was Silas Marner, the fiction

Which changed my attitude and my ambition!

Like others I entered your world

Listened to the tales that were already told!

Your well- versed type poetry

Which is the emotion's beauty and intensity!

That attempts to stir reader's imagination

A few started to create it as their profession!

Your popular genre fiction

Immersed us in the characters within a friction!

Its main function is to entertain and inspire

As we put ourselves in the shoes of other!

Learnt the most important part HEL (History of English Literature)

Which is actually a heaven to yell!

Journalism taught us in the world what is happening

As of now the field which is the most challenging!

The next your special dramas that is written

Made us virtualize the characters spoken!

Lovely to enact the scenes in skit

As it has the marks in competition we don't want to quit!

You made us realise in the world we all are one!

Because we have learnt American, British, Canadian, Indian, Australian...

Your creative imagination world is rife!

Since YOU are the mirror of LIFE!
