An Ode to William Shakespeare

A tribute to the man named William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
You are not born to shake
Or hold the spear
So you chose a pen in your hand
And wrote whatever came out,
Out of your glands
You used a pun
And I got stunned
The words you play
Are boldest to say
You are never to forget
But hard to get
From Tempest to Macbeth
Always left me sway
The respect that you built
Is a tower of creativity
Of no ones ability
Whether it was a warning from a soothsayer
Or the tragedy of King Lear
William Shakespeare
What a man of excellence
Who told many stories with brilliance

Nice tribute to one of the greatest writer's of all-time. Simple, but nice, and it shows that you know the person you are complimenting.

I chose to read it after seeing the Kenneth Branaugh version of Hamlet yesterday. I recommend that film btw if you haven't seen it already. It's famous for using almost every line from the play. It's long, but if you like Shakespeare, it is the best version of it.

Thank you Chris. I am glad you like my writings. Plus I have seen that movie several times. It's great

Thank you very much Yasmin. I am glad that you liked it. Actually what inspires me is my dream. A dream of being one of the best and being sitting right beside among the well known writters

Thank you Confuser. I am glad that you liked it. By the way what is this tag of poetry 101.

Emily, a moderator, created a game....easiest way to explain...when you see TAG etc...you should review another Poetry 101 member and write the same. Great idea. More reviews and we will learn more by reading. So now, that's what you should do.
