Poem
Belle of the Balls A Fairy Tale Once upon a time in a mythical land, there lived a beautiful young Ball named Belle Rolle. She was perfect in every way, a phenomenon of science and a sphere of excellence. She also came from a long line of Balls, famous and infamous. There was Foote Ball, a dancer of great renown, Base Ball, a rich but degenerate Ball whose vile manners and disgraceful activities scandalized the Ball family at a certain epoch in history and Cue Ball, an internationally known actor who had the uncanny ability of executing his lines always at the right time. Power Ball, the most influential Ball with luck and a small amount of money was able to increase his investments a billion fold. With all these ancestors, you might say that she had great Ball bearings. Not only did she inherit these gifts but could roll to any occasion rather well. But one fateful day, her life was to change. She liked someone very much. His name was Harde Roque. Why did she have this wonderful feeling? He was nothing like a Ball at all. To begin with, he was a little rough on the edges and was as if a mass of stone with large protrusions although some parts were smooth and he had what was like goldenrod sprouting on his rugged exterior. But he was different and the Balls hated the Roques. In their neck of the woods their reputation preceded them. Two of the family were Rolling Roque and Rye, notorious for imbibing beer and liquor more often than not. There was also Plymouth Roque, a car dealer known for his devious ways in the selling of cars. But she continued her tryst and soon enough they were exposed and she was shunned from all the Ballrooms. During that time of desolation she suffered a terrible fit of deflation and seemed to shrink from her former self. Then one day she awoke to the sound of a ships whistle and she immediately rolled out of bed and looked out the window. What she saw were Roques of all regal colors of shapes and sizes coming down the gangplank of a ship. Waiting at the bottom of the gangplank was Harde. Curious and excited, she rolled down to the dock to see Harde standing next to another shape. He said to Belle, “This is my father, Roque Nicholas from a country called Olde Quarry." "We were lost at sea and separated for a long time and now he has found me.! “And yes, Belle, I come from a long line of royalty". Soon they were wed and then one day a little shape was born. In honor of the two families , they little shape was named Roque N. Rolle. Write a story short - Poet Contest Sponsored by The Seeker April 23. 2016
