Dear George R.R. Martin,
How you swept me away with your saga
I cringed to the deaths and gasped to drama
Engrossed— I breathed the song of ice and fire
It’s your world I crave; your words I desire
In my heart grew a massive gratitude
In fascination, you had me all glued
For the ride I took in the game of thrones
I slowly paced to flirt with the unknown
You took the chill higher in the clash of kings
I watched you in awe as you played the strings
A storm of swords set on smoldering heat
In your gripping tales, I rested my heartbeat
Do throw those pessimists— a feast for crows
I live every page; in each leaf time slows
Savor delight and dance with the dragons
Sing with the knights and travel in wagons
Will the dream of spring be a startling end?
My words are not enough to a tale well-penned
Will the winds of winter blow us away?
You were writing life’s metaphor, not just fantasy.
Your newest fangirl,
Maria ❤

DAY 3: Today, let’s turn our vision outward, and write fan letters. I challenge you to write a poem in the form of a fan letter to a celebrity. Now, this could be a celebrity from long ago, and needn’t be an actor or singer (though it could be).
George R.R. Martin is an American novelist and short story writer in the fantasy, horror, and science fiction genres, a screenwriter, and television producer. He is the man behind the latest addition to my favorites, A Song of Ice and Fire.

Oh, I am not a wide reader of fantasy too. I started with Harry Potter and I love it so I decided to others a try. I fell in love with this! ❤ BUT it's a shame, I couldn't stick my head with Alice in the Wonderland. It's too much… fantasy I guess.
I hope you enjoy HP! 😀

What an amazing tribute! Cleverly written, poignant and touching. I wish George R. R. Martin could read it himself somehow. Maybe we can make your poem viral. Power of fangirls and internet! Haha

Ooh!! I hope he can read this, I hope he does! ❤ ❤ ❤ Hmm… I wonder how this could reach to him though. Still, a girl can dream. Right? 😉 YAY! So happy to know you're a fan! April 24 is coming!

I’m not realllyyy a fan. I saw the first season of Game of Thrones and never continued it. I’ve never read the books because the tv series turned me off. But I may pick it up one day and give the books a shot 🙂

Hmm… I fell for GRRM because of his books. I enjoyed the tv series but the books were… just wow! Exceptional. Not being pushy but I’m looking forward to you reading them. ^^
