Premium Member Hamlet - Shakespeare theme
Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. Lord Polonius to Laertes - Hamlet, Act 1 Scene 3 your magnitude of desire is an ocean that can only be scantily filled. the vendors cast a net to trap thee into their web of deceit. you crave for fashion far...

“To be, or not to be?” asks Hamlet's soul, a mind transfixed between the depths below and life's thin, airy hold: this desperate role, I still play; although, from despair I know that meaning consists neither in wealth, pleasure, nor youth, might,...

Premium Member civil war
Hamlet, sharpen your sword of trust, for Macbeth is surely waiting. The specter of ‘Civil war’ stalks the land and the ghosts of senseless violence, so long docile, have come to hollow-eyed attention. Our cauldron was filled with innocence, as the ever-thirsty succubi require, the glory of war is being shaken, not stirred and the betrayal will...

HOW HAMLET FARED
In that hamlet sweet, where dreams take flight, Beneath the canopy of day and night, With each season's change, a new delight, Where joy and sorrow intertwine, in their might. Spring breathes life into the earth's embrace, Summer's heat, a fervent chase, Autumn whispers secrets, leaves interlace, Winter's frost, a tranquil grace. "He sung his 'didn't he, danced he did', In rhythms of life,...

“To be, or not to be?” asked Hamlet's soul, a mind transfixed between looming limbo and life's thin, airy hold; this loathsome role, philosophers and poets have played (though some now sleep). Not wealth, nor the lap of pleasure, nor thought, strength,...

My Sweet-Candid Ophelia
My Sweet-Candid Ophelia Hamlet did loveth your fairness yet frailness You showed him and the World that Love's pure through your playful kindness The sweet haunting of your departing has taught us a happy yet bittersweet lesson. William did giveth you a mercy ending for all the pain in the world. You'll forever remain in Hamlet's heart For which you're bounded...

Premium Member Pretty Swiss Hamlet Full of Joy
The pretty Swiss hamlet was alive with people this morning. It was the first trade fair of the spring and there was a children’s parade. This hamlet was bursting with people dressed in native costumes. No one was wearing a mask, and everyone seemed to have a joyful smile. Is this a magical place? I...

Premium Member Ophelia: the Evergreen Heroine of Shakespearean Tragedy
The quintessential of nyctophilia, wrapped in bridal attire, slowly and slowly as in somnambulism there goes the heroine of timeless tragedy to supersede her lovers feigned insanity. Her beloved father is no more, being killed by her suitor's intrigued tyranny; ignored to be drowned, to burn in the flame of plotted felony. Jilted, to be startled by the...

Premium Member The Whistling Hamlet
A whistling wheezing hamlet, whispering and emanating, tunes euphonic, In a remote isolated valley, far-flung from the abode of the temporal, Warbling quietly to whistle scads of tranquil cryptic songs; Lying spasmodic, a sparsely inhabited mellifluous hamlet, Kongthong! Not to hyperbole, a singing utopia, uncustomary to the core! Where innate and mellow are...

"The whole world can wait …this fleeting moment is only for you and me!" (By Poet) A moment of intense anticipation! The phone rings….on the display, I see your name.

Views of fertile valleys, Vast blue sky above and Verdant green fields mark the Vibrance of my hamlet; Vacation trip to my Vivacious village fills Voidness of my dull soul. Date: 05/05/2021 Submitted for: Pleiades V Poetry Contest Sponsor: Kim Merryman...

I Met That Star In a Hamlet
I met that star, with my name on; I met That twinkling star, a beacon, lovely one; I met her in a hamlet—less spoiled—yet We met when homeward sun his cart did run. She often tip-toed with her mother star, To the field to cut grains or feed her cow, While blinking slyly, like an angled spar At her love,...
