We know the tales,
of those who have failed.
So let's begin,
with a big win.
A poet's life is filled with hopes and fame.
Yet poetry is not the same.
Of nonfiction, fiction or a book report.
It's riddles and rhymes of a sort.
I had a friend who loved to sing.
Her words flew out like a bell with a ring.
It was at that moment I started to write.
A beautiful moment, captured just right,
Tales of good days, some yet to come.
Dreams and passions were of some.
Yet tales of birds of prey.
Children's tales were often written every day,
The daily poems I write, are a quote of the day.
"So share with me, the words you wish to say."

Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Perhaps one of the best known modern plays in all of 20th century theatre, ‘Death of a Salesman’ is a 1949 play written by Arthur Miller. Set in Brooklyn, it takes place over two acts and portrays the tragedy of the Loman household - specifically that of protagonist Willy Loman. It deals with the crushing of the American Dream and forces the audience to confront the harsh truth about what America has become. It ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play and as it is revived many times we in literature and drama hope it can continue its influence for years to come.
