Shakespeare In 2023

Doth thou, my dear, recall us still? Tho' years quietly hasten'd on. Do doves yet fly near Towne's Mill and carts clang up'n cobblestone? Are thou still light as summer's day, with golden lockes o'er which I wept? Did winter steal thy look of May? For I was gone, and long I slept. A dream this be and quite strange; else I have fall'n, hit my head. Village has known a bit'r change, while April vanish'd from my stead. Doth life but dwell within a rhyme, ere each day lost to heedless time? January 6, 2023 for "Shakespeare in 2023" contest by Anoucheka Gangabissoon

Shakespeare is eager to know if things are the same as in the 16th and 17th centuries when he lived and wrote his immortal plays and verse. The concluding lines, I love so much. This is a poem, I am sure will be ranked high. All the Best, Ann!

Thanks, Harry. I shouldn't have been so hard on the Master.
