Once Upon A Time

Cameron Simpson
A close-up visual of the pages of a book acting as an aesthetic

Words and lyrics combine,

To weave a tale of magic

So wonderfully divine.

 

Crowns, jewels, satin gowns

Filling every hall, every space on the floor.

Lights, music, life

A splendid evening to adore.

 

Arrows, daggers, quills,

All involved in this wondrous tale.

Music, laughter, heartache,

All delivered in a wondrous story without fail.

 

From mermaids and sorcerers

To dragons and vampires,

The pages will reveal a fable,

One of a glorious, dazzling empire.

An artful visual of the elements of the poem (Cameron Simpson)

 

Stories move hearts, 

Inspire those in need,

Readers gobble them up 

Eyes darting forth with lightning speed.

 

The villain’s deceit

The hero’s brave ways,

Make the reader fall

Head over heels for days.

 

The fun, the joy,

The characters readers now call a friend

Like every other story,

Must come to an end.

 

Even though the words are finished,

Even though they are no more,

The story will always be there,

Ingrained in the readers forevermore.

 

 

 

About the Contributor
Cameron Simpson
Cameron Simpson, Staff Writer
Hi! My name is Cameron Simpson. I am a freshman, and this is my first time in Journalism. I am now a staff writer here, and I deeply enjoy writing fantasy and mythology based novels (even though I haven’t been able to finish anything yet). I adore reading; some of my favorites being Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan and Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. I wish to be an author someday. My goal this year is to grow in my abilities as a writer and to learn so many new techniques on how to write.
