Chapter 1: The Prison-Door

A/N's & Disclaimers listed below

Men born innocent

Without the care for the world

Being around others…

Their influences…

They begin to lose…

Lose their selves and sell their souls to darkness

Slowly losing that natural love and humanity

To the malfeasance and demoralization of the corrupted minds of men

Consequences never thought

Now facing a door where behind it lays their fate

Although guilty or not they share the same pain

The pain of loneliness and regrets

Losing all hope and happiness

They try to find their selves again and try to endure the pain and suffering

Clutching to the little bit of belief left in their path

Looking out of their barred window

Drifting to the sky

And thinking what could have been

Witnessing natures power

Where coming in sight a rose

"which might be imagined to offer their fragrance

and fragile beauty to the prisoner ... and to the condemned criminal

as he came forth to his doom, in token

that the deep heart of Nature could pity and be kind to him (The Scarlet Letter, Ch.1)"

A/N: Hello.! This is my first fan fiction based of one of my favorite books The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. This was also a school assignment that I had to do where I had to read the entire book, choose a character, and write each chapter based off their POV using your understanding of each individual chapter.

The character I have chosen to write their POV was Hester Prynne. Although the first chapter really doesn't introduce Hester yet so I decided to make a poem based of my POV of it.

There are like 24 chapters in the original book so this story will be 24 chapters also. At least, I hope so.. :]

Hope you read and enjoy it.! I would like to read your reviews about it. Thankies.!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the book The Scarlet Letter. It belongs to Nathaniel Hawthorne. This poem was made by me and I have made sure to cite the references that I have written down from the book. Also have made the rating T just in case. ^-^
