Heh, so I wrote this a while ago for an English lesson and thought 'Why not?'
This is from two years ago but hopefully it's not too bad...
Almost forgot!
Disclaimer: I do not own Romeo and Juliet in any way, shape or form, it belongs to the great and esteemed William Shakespeare. (though I don't think he envisioned his plays would be analysed to tears [mine] by a few over-zealous techers and many bored 14-year-olds in years to come)
^lame attempt at humour
Prologue
Families two, of equal pride,
A child betrothed, to be another's bride,
Forbidden love arises as two eyes meet,
A suitor must now, for marriage, compete,
Wedded in secret, far from prying eyes,
Two lovers exchange vows, side by side,
Bodies found, on blood soaked ground,
A murderer banished from their town,
Hearts stop beating as they draw their last breath,
For eternity together, even in death,
Families two of equal pride,
Mourn their loss, side by side.
Feel free to criticise :)
