None written since then as been adjudged equal to them, but epics are still being written. Romance is a form of vernacular story originally in verse but later in prose. Romance was developed first in France in the twelfth century and spread through Europe. Medieval Romances dealt with knights, deeds of chivalry and courtly love. They differed from earlier epics in their lack of moral grandeur and seriousness, their episodic, digressive structure and their subjectivity.
Romances are often replete with magical events, faeries, dragons, wizards and enchantment.
In modern fiction, novels and poems that idealize and are little concerned with realism are called Romances. No matter the style of poetry one portrays, I believe that each poem is as individual as the poet who writes it. As for me, all of these facts and details, as interesting and intriguing as they are, my poetry is the music in my soul. I make my home in Fresno, California. I am a single parent with a 16 year old still at home.
