In search of The Bard
To give him my card
As I'd had an idea for a play...

Wurtis B was a bardolater.
Shakespeare fan, there was no one greater.
He spouted the Bard.
Photo on his card.

My story begins as all others,
jealousy, love, failure, success,
enlightenment, struggle,
happiness and despair.
As the leaf turns revealing-
the end, my tale.
Has more to be told.

Oh wait I forgot the bard......

You make us laugh at the terror of life in a measured way,
Lets look think and react to new profanity,
Let's get jarred, the fool bows before the bard,
Because he knows life is hard,
He lives in perfect empathy......

Wear a tie, tip your hat,
shine your shoe, don a spat.
That's the proper way to do;
adopt a cultured world view.

yet passion flows in every word,
the bard has spoken,
we have heard ,
the rhapsody of life,
cuts cleanly like a knife,
it flutters like a bird ,
a kite...

The Bard stopped at Footscray
on the road to Ballarat
he was researching The Eureka Stockade
not Romeo and Juliet
he imagined the miners
manning the barricades
police bullets flying
hoisting The Southern Cross
and dying....

All worth free of sanction
  its value beyond time

Our oath most revealing
   a memory divine

The Bard more prophetic…
  “To Thine Own Self Be True”

One meaning transcendent
   —that gift unto you

The lucky man, who loves and is loved back, from heart to heart,
Who in Nirvana's depth has lost his common sense control,
-Emotions of that man can only be matched by feelings of the bard,
Who's poem got the magic charm to touch the reader's soul....

Three cheers for the bard,Brian Strand
The busiest judge in the land.
He'd carefully read
Appraising with speed
And then one more contest he planned!

Thank you so much for the time and effort you have invested over so many years, Brian.
All the best

The bard of Avon live
Long live his renowned name 
I gather his words yo become a dictionary 
His lexical usage are more secular and diagnostic 
I move forward with literature inspired
By him and his works 
The sonnets he wrote calligraphes the venom
The venom of wisdom...

A horse!  A horse!  My kingdom for a horse!

Wast penned by The Bard of Avon of course!

Richard's steed Surrey lay dead

Slain by a crossbow 'tis said

Dick pled for another 'til he was hoarse!

Awful

       Gob full...

                 Wrawful

                          Offal.
     
                       Haggis up for an awful gob full;

                  Toasting the bard with wrawful offal!

this poem is dedicated to Darren, the green bard and warrior
there is a bard gentle but still a fighter for the right cause
there is a bard who knows how to listen and when to speak
there is a bard who heals 
there is a bard who has saved me with
music
word
and
deed...

I’ve entered a productive phase
with tasks at home, not turns of phrase.
There’s plenty jobs I’m getting done,
but writing sonnets isn’t one.
I have the skills, although they’re hard;
perhaps I need some leotards.
The bard wore those and so I might
at least look smashing in my tights....

A poet now sings
Feels fancy fling


Poise that hurls thought
Unease funds plot


Pain in odd blame
Can craft new flames


Try and try hard
To glimpse the bard


Too soon all's spent
Yet lives intent
