If Your Life Is a Storybook What Will You Name It


If your life is a story what will be your titled page?
Will it be just a kindle format or a hardback
I wonder what the pages would spell like 
May be of mystery, misery, love, hate, shelter or war
Will  there be children crying on the front headlines;
Riots .Or will there be flowers planted on the front 
pages to tell how beautiful your emotion is, may be 
berries .will it be a blue berry or red berry .Or a rose
flower. Will the pages speak for themselves. 

 If your life was a book what will you name it?
Will it be a novel or a novela, a play or poem
An essay or a memoir written
Will it be in rhymes, a sonnet, an epic or just free verses
I wonder if it will be a photocopy of another man's pages
Will the chapters spell love or hatred , well spent or regret

Who will be in your acknowledgement?, and 
dedicated to who?
Will you be the hero or villain, the Jack or Rose , 
the Romeo or Juliet
Achilles, Hector, Paris, or Helen of Troy
If your life was a book what will you name it
What would the world read of it?
Please Tell!!!

Superb stuff, Gideon! It's always a pleasure to read your poetry. Incidentally, you have a typo in your poem. I think you meant "villain"(2nd line of the last stanza)?
