Preliminary information: This is a poem based on the tragedies of Shakespeare. There are themes/characters incorporated from 7 different Shakespearean tragedies. The characters, however, also come from a familiar source (ie The PokeCommunity Forums), if you could tell by the title. This will be posted in parts and divided into acts/scenes as seen fit. Enjoy!
The Prologue
Set in a fair kingdom, vast and diverse
With one hand to rule them, and their hands held
To rule the others and to rule the land,
These six poignant tales, told over a span,
Not coinciding but for our purpose,
Entangle in each other very well.
Sadly, there is no hope for this kingdom,
And, as the name implies, the characters,
United yet divided, fierce yet weak,
Order their own tombs and put themselves in.
Suicide? Sometimes. Homicide? Sometimes.
Illness? Sometimes. The causes will vary.
But be assured, by and by, all will die.

Side Notes
Spoiler:
1. Expect actual content (ie acts, scenes) to begin by November 8th.
2. Don't ask me to explain anything... yet. I want it to be a surprise. If you still don't get it when it's over then I can explain.
3. This is written in pseudo-iambic pentameter. There is pentameter but it is not written with iambs. Expect variety in structure as the story unfolds.
