Poetry Day: Stories Never Told

Posted on November 13, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(A short poem about something I’ve wondered about for years. Given wars, diseases, resource inequality, wealth inequality, education inequality, and a whole list of other barriers, I’m assuming this happens every minute.)

How many stories have been lost?

Because the dreamer died too soon

Or they never had their chance

These lost stories of adventure

And love that cannot break

Tales of screams and laughs

That touch the human soul

All of them are gone

To never gain a second chance

Drifting to oblivion

With their creator’s soul

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.
