A Letter To William Shakespeare

Enlivening hymns that inspired, Exalting emotions breathed life into, Your great pen as I longed to read, In my dreams to you connected, Enlightened my mind your words with my heart rhymed, Trust my letter reaches and allures your soul sits beside me here, Dear poet Shakespeare ! Your poetic grandeur and Philosophical splendour, Dramatic literary playwright, Howsoever hard I tried, Unable to cope up current time, certain forms of poetry I could never write, Is it the form that mattered, Even if may the emotions lie shattered, Invigorate and energise whisper softly to apprise, Dear poet Shakespeare! Did you ever learn notes ? Or naturally became to be known as quotes? Should I nurture my mind to shape verse into a kind ? Or let smoothly flow the way heart may guide ? Can you once holdon to my pen and teach me write ? Just in order to put up ideas shining very bright, Dear poet Shakespeare ! Written on 6/6/14 Contest- Letters to poets Sponsor- Monterey Sirak

Great author you correspond with Upma! Form will always be a pillar on which poetry stands, together with other important points. You expressed yourself very eloquently and with a touch of awe and love. I think he already holds on to your pen:) Congrats...a merited win. // paul

Dear Dr. Upma, I think form was important to Shakespeare when writing poetry. You surely did a wonderful dedication to him. There are many quotes from his plays that run through my head often. Wishing you success in the contest! Love, Carolyn

Yes true Carolyn ,, definitely form is important for any literary,, probably it did come naturally to him and imitation is bit tough,, although that too is an art ! Thanks for ur visit and worthy comments !
