Chimney Cleaner And Soothsayer's Daughter

Rating: 5.0


Romeo a handsome youth
Who carries a rickety ladder door to door
And clean the soot properly.
When smoke rises up to the sky
He just sit on a step and stares towards infinity.
Soothsayer's teenage daughter roams around the balcony
And she's very cautious of what her father once said firmly.
'Juliet, You must be very careful of your future
And it's written on your forehead.
One day you choose a partner
Who works hard with dirt.'

You don't have to be a Capulet or a Montague to suffer the pangs and arrows of 'true love'. A sweet and sour tale of love and hard work. Your poems smiles upon the reader. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

An enchanting fairy tale. I approve of the chimney sweep who watches the smoke until it disappers into infinity. 10/10 for your modern Romero and Juliet. Always your friend, Sandra
