Dr. Upma A. Sharma Poet Free verse

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 !

Carolyn Devonshire June 6, 2014 at 4:16 PM 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 Dr. Upma A. Sharma June 7, 2014 at 2:23 AM 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 !
