William Shakespeare Is My Favourite Poet

William Shakespeare is my favourate poet!

	It does not need a thousand poems, dear, 
		to prove that William Shakespeare
	is a scintillating poet, nor does it require
		him to write so many sonnets or tire

	His ambidextrous pen and his gifted wrist
		writing romantic ballads with a twist
	in the end – his poems vivifies the air,
		especially when his poetry is about despair.
   
	William Shakespeare is my favourate poet of all days;
		I like how he writes, his styles and his ways;
	his poems written with words embellished,
		with his thoughts and his ideas dearly wished –

	His imagery is pure, his emotions are raw,
		a tale of poems that always make my day so braw;
	as fair enough twice the generosity of the sea,
		Sterling I say, to make him my favourate poet be;
 
	From how he wrote ‘Shall I compare thee. . .’
		To how he structured his poem ‘Soliloquy’,
	And won people’s hearts with ‘Let me not to the marriage of True minds’,
		When he said, I quote: ‘Which alters when alteration finds,

	Or bends with the remover to remove. Oh no!’
		William Shakespeare, this poet was such a pro –
	He owed the world definitions of his words of charm,
		which always but so puzzled the mind though meant no harm.
  
	His antique English inspired and fascinated me to read his work,
	His sonnets, full of metaphors and similes that evermore but had his back –
	Tell you what, no poet can write close to how Shakespeare ever wrote,
	For the master of poetry ever lived and died, and vanished with a quote.

	That is, inter alia, why William Shakespeare is my favourate poet!
