Would Shakespeare have liked free verse now, not before?
Should Hamlet sound free, instead of rhyme, which we adore
May Poe have written The Raven in the same odd, magical flow?
If words had not rhymed artfully in poetry crafted so long ago
Clever poets proved their skills in a great rhyming scheme.
Depicting moods as Escher did in his popular 'Scream'
Wasn't philosophy authored by René Descartes?
In terms of mind-body dualism thinking smart
when you drift off on a meadow that is green
focused upon a colorful nature scene
White clouds float across the sky.
pondered why birds may fly
you understand that you just cannot deny
But if you did, I reckon it might be the biggest lie.
that Shakespeare's verses, as well as Poe's, were used from the
start
are striking - inspirational diamonds as they are - almost everyone's
heart
