Sigh no more- by William Shakespeare
Original one ...

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never,
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be your blith and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe,
Into hey nonny, nonny

Sigh no more ditties, sigh no mo
Of dumps so dull and heavy 
The fraud of men was ever so
Since summer first was leavy,
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be your blith and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe,
Into hey nonny, nonny 



Kimo form - 10/7/6 written by me , inspired by , poem 'Sigh no more' by William Shakespeare

Men known for inevitable beguile,
Why lament for betrayal ?
Don't ever lose your sheen !

O girl set your emotions to repress,
Let go of him rather grieve,
Retain alluring been !

Inconstant affections keep them going,
Why take delude to your heart,
Girl ! it's in their nature !

Congratulations Upma!! You collected the whole essence of the Bard's original and gave it your very own interpretation, using a totally different form to express yourself. Well done! // paul
