Longing For Shakespeare! Poem by Ashish Dimri

Longing For Shakespeare!



(Today is anniversary of the man who make us love, fine aspects of english language!)

Poetic world
Looks forlorn
May another
Shakespeare be born

Alas, Prose and poetry
Exude curses!
We read
Drab verses!

Soap operas
Have replaced plays!
Eclipsed sun shines
And fools make hay!

No husband
Can tame his shrew!
Merchants of Venice
Can hardly argue!

The passionate pilgrim
Always thinks
-That Brutus, Macbeth and shylocks
Are new age kings

With dubious Romeos
and equally corrupt Juliet’s,
Its a measure for measure
In our new age 'tempest'



Yes, its much ado about nothing
Because life is a midsummer night’s dream
As tragic as Julius Caesar
May be it is the comedy of errors!

Will his birth a love’s labour lost
Or a literary gift!
All’s well that ends well!
As you like it!

You truly did expressed a longing for Shakespeare that even John was compelled to come up with a poetic comment. Good job.
