**something I wrote in English one day when I was bored. I'm pretty sure there's no punctuation missing.**





I am sometimes fact, often not

sometimes truth mixed with myth



I live on when those who

gave me birth are gone



I am Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox,

Davy Crockett and Annie Oakley,

Johnny Appleseed



I am the stories told around the fire,

when the children ought to be in bed



I am an explanation of the Great Lakes,

the Grand Canyon, why the birch has stripes,

and the quaking of the aspen



I am the inspiration for

many a painting,

many a film,

many a song



I provide the opportunity to build castles in the air,

whether you are a child or an adult;

to imagine what the world could have been like

if...

tall tales were true



I am a child of the marriage between

Truth and Fantasy



I will exist as long as

there are storytellers and storylisteners



I am glorious

I am eternal

I am Legend







Thoughts? It isn't really intended to have a rhythm, more of a free verse sort of thing, so rhythm comments will henceforth probably be ignored.
