Poetry is the shadow cast by our Imagination -Lawrence Ferlinghetti I want to tell a story in a poem I hope you'd listen A tale of cities A tale of war and maybe peace A tale of pain and sorrows or most likely joy A tale of regret and maybe second chances A tale of beautiful people in ugly situations Could end with a fancy fairytale A tale I hope will make you ache and reminisce Or maybe feel somewhat happy I just wish you'd stay and listen Cherry.E.
