1st Place

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



What is this lodging and people strangeth
Yond walketh but never see
Looking as the screen doest changeth
Laughing with mirth and glee

And roaring beasts runneth up the roads
Like dragons with hurtling and smoke
Gigantic monsters with heavy loads
May runneth down honest folk

Just to returneth to calmer times
Would maketh mine own journey pleasant
I feeleth yond hither I'm out of rhymes
I'm nay more than a peasant

Taketh me back to times more sane
The fifteen nineties art for me
I cannot writeth, nor bethink, nor remain
In twenty twenty three

I too wonder if we could coup in another time period. We are so spoil with so much.

I'm afraid we would not fare so well in the past. Not so sure about the future either. Perhaps we are where we should be. Thanks for you comments.

Sad, Shakespeare feels ill at ease with modern world of speeding traffic and bustling cities. He needs quiet to write. Had he lived in our times, he would have never been a dramatist or poet. Well expressed in Shakespearean language . All the best in the contest dear Andy.
