Heartpen: Poems of a Cardiac Quill

PREFACE

What urge overtook me to write one of these:

A book full of rhythmical allegories?

Could I write a preface without using rhymes?

I've tried to, my friends—I've tried hundreds of times.

But sayings of mine end with just such a sound

As surely a similar word can be found

To ring with the end of a verse such as this,

And voila, we're left with a rhyming preface.

So here is a book packed with stories and things

Like tragedies, triumphs, that circumstance brings.

You'll read about characters striving with fate

And learning to love in a world full of hate,

And with their adventures may you resonate.

A/N:

Thank you for checking out Heartpen! I hope you enjoy!
