  Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire!
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon's sphere;
And I serve the Fairy Queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green;
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours;
In those freckles live their savours;
I must go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.


William Shakespeare

Fated @ Jeline Loh

It’s been a long time
Ages since I knew you
Somehow a stranger to me
It felt like I have known you


Although I really don’t
Ardent am I to find out more
Time will tell yet it won’t
Curiosity is still a core


Yet now we spoke again
Someday our path will cross
With a crystal glass of champagne
Somehow we can have a toss


If fate is something we hold
We shouldn’t let it go
That is what we were told
It wouldn’t be long ago

@Claudia..if you want your voice to be heard, then write like never-before. And don't expected to get heard immediately, most poets got heard, years after their demise. As for me, I don't write to get heard..I write to express my feelings...but if I happened to get heard in the process...then, it's all good!

I am in total agreement with Robin and Juan. Shakespeare has enough publicity and has had for centuries- how about some of our novice poets like myself- we would like to be heard also- this year 2011 and we need our voices to be heard as well-
