JUIET PAPA TAKE OUT GUN AND SHOOTS ROMEO PAPA!!!, and then turns and ShOOTS!!! me as lay on the ground in my own blood I closed my eyes,Days later  I open my eyes and find I am in the hospital with a nurse standing over me she calls over the doctor he comes over and said sr you are going to be ok you can go home any time that you feel up to it, he leaves I said to the nurse what happen she said that thay  captured Romeo and Juliet and put Romeo in jail for kidnapping and THEN Juliet crying and say if I cant be with my romeo I will kill my  self and does!!!! And when Romeo hears of her death and says  my life my life for Juliet I must die for love  and kills him self, As I get out of the hospital I think what a love story this will be some day, As I get home I think love is love and if you cant have it then death is the answer and to be to together in heaven for ever, so this is the End of my story,

And the chain goes on..inspired author to inspired author...as a new link is forged and added to the path of love-sighs.

Greg, I love this take on the story; told from the point of view of an innocent bystander, caught up in the crossfire of love and hate...a witness to the love of the children and innocent victim of the hatred of the parents.

Bravo!!

Hello Greg...

Romeo and Juliet was a tragedy story written by William Shakespeare...

It's amazing how one story that's just a story has formed so many ideas about love and suicide from so long ago has managed to shape all these ideas today...

Great write! 

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

Hi Greg,  Romeo and Juliet,  it's a love battle to win ## you relive my journey in Verona,  Italy,  looking for the famous balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet, ### we thought it was the right one ## we took some pictures, but to be informed later that it wasn't. 

Thanks for sharing

Hi Greg,

Thank you for including me as one of your inspirations for this lovely tale you have told.  The chain reaction goes on.  I loved how you wrote it from the perspective of a witness, a really cool way to look at it.  You have made me, and many other poets, happy with this wonderful story.

Peace and Love,

Larry xxx
