The Tale of Romeo and Juliet
In the city of Verona
A man named Romeo lives.
Rosaline, did he love
And all his heart gives.
But Rosaline cared not for him
And Romeo had to move on.
One glance of Juliet
And his love for Rosaline was gone.
Juliet did return his love
Just as much as he.
True joy they felt was as abundant
As it could possibly be.
But from out of the depths of hate
A storm grew overhead.
Romeo was Mercutio's friend
And Tybalt slew Mercutio dead.
Romeo commited the ultimate sin,
Ruining the future he and Juliet were to fulfill,
And afterwards suffering banishment,
Out of rage Tybalt did Romeo kill.
Friar Laurence did form a plan
For Juliet and Romeo were both distraught.
In the end, part of it held true;
Together forever were Romeo and Juliet brought.
Back would Romeo come,
Juliet's death being fake,
And arriving to awaken her,
Away could Juliet he take.
Romeo did not receive word of the plan
For Fate's cruel touch took a stand.
Juliet's death Romeo thought was true
By the dealings dealt from Destiny's hand.
To be joined with his love
From Mantua did Romeo ride.
At the Capulet's tomb
There did he commit suicide.
Finding Romeo dead
Did Juliet take her last breath,
For they were united in marriage
And must be united in death.
