William Shakespeare

The 'Bard of Avon'- William Shakespeare
Never held in his hand a spear,
But with a sharp and powerful quill,
Killed kings and princesses, summoning their ghosts at will.

Congratulations Valsa on your placement in this contest with a lovely clerihew, paying hommage to William Shakespeare. This reminds me to some extent of Richard the Third. I do not know which of his play/s you had particularly in mind.

Apart from the comedies, Shakespeare's tragic plays are full of dead people. I loved Ophelia best.
