Once Upon A Time

I remembered tales of joy and sorrow

As I see the the falling leaves

From my bench of life, dreaming

The stories quiet-spoken,

Of kings and queens,

Of wizards and warriors,

Of lovers and dreamers,

A way to escape,

If only for a while,

Dear Clentin,

I much enjoyed this poem of fancy! Very well done. I have one suggestion:

exchange the word dreamers for dreams.

sorry i am late in finding this piece,

very fondly, Cat
