Write. It doesn't matter if you're overjoyed, furious, miserable, or what. Write to keep those emotions in check while managing to grow stronger.

Romeo, oh Romeo
Where for art thou?
Art thou in the castle?
-Nay my fair Juliet.
Art thou in a distant land?
-Nay my love.
Art thou in love with another?
-Nay dearest one.
Art thou ignoring my cries?
-Nay sweetheart.
Art thou wandering alone?
-Nay my darling.
Art thou in the company of our Lord?
-Nay my beautiful angel.
Art thou lost and afraid?
-Nay my fair maiden.
Then where for art thou Romeo? I've grown tired of guessing. You seem to be no where. Have you left me here to just simply call your name and receive no reply? What kind of cruel trick is that?
-There is no trick at all my love. Even whence thou cannot see me, I am always with you. Search for me in your heart and I will most certainly be there. I will never leave you. I love you my beautiful Juliet.

I just got really bored and wondered if Juliet would have ever guessed where Romeo was instead of just sitting around doing nothing.

&quot;Books are a uniquely portable magic.&quot; - Stephen King<br /> <br /> I love books, and I love technology, but I don&#039;t want to see the latter overwhelm the former. I just think books are meant to be pages you turn, not screens you scroll through.

This is a pretty good poem; I can't seem to find anything wrong with it.

Great job! :)
