FROM off a hill whose concave womb reworded
A plaintful story from a sistering vale,
My spirits to attend this double voice accorded,

    Why don't poets write like Shakespeare, anymore.
    These times are so amazing,
    Inspiration is surely knocking on the door.
    But poesy rendered in intricate phrasing
    is mostly heard in a rapper's self-praising.
    Then again, the Bard was from the hood;
    perhaps, that's what made him so good.

    Though very long yet pleasant interesting. Amazing narrative having masterly control over the rhyme as well as words and phrases.
    This is a real Shakespearean masterpiece.
    Great work.

    A good classic poem indeed but how about some of us newer poets- aren't we good enough to be heard also? ? ? ?
