Listen to poem:
Shakespeare Recalled
Stratford-upon-Avon Shakespeare's town
Where shades of the past are present each day
in daub and wattle homes there can be found
Medieval moments that are at play.
Tragedies staged with death quite violent
In his writing of revenge and torment
Shakespeare lies buried his quill now silent
He wrote of passion and evil portent.
On cobbled street where Tudor shoe did tread
Walk in the footsteps of the sonneteer
His shadow alive although bard is dead
Empathic souls adjust to yesteryear.
Enduring atmosphere Shakespeare's past
Tangible moment he holds us steadfast.
