Shakespeare’s candle threw beams across the world
Iambic illustrations of love, life
Liquid dreams flowed from a sharp feather’s point
Envisage fractured worlds without the bard
Nightmarish crow song is all we would hear
Carrion trodding the world’s rotten stage
Even as the flames in our eyes went dark

About the Creator

A happy guy that tends to write a little cynically. Just my way of dealing with the world outside my joyous little bubble.
If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Creative! I love that you made it fit two prompts😊
Shaun, very clever combining the two prompts. Excellent work!
I'm with D.K. about combining the two prompts. What a great tribute too. I do wonder what the world would be like if Shakespeare had never existed.
Woah! Loved how you combined these prompts!! Great use of several of the prompt words in just a few lines
Great poem combining Poppy’s Prompts & the acrostic… I love that Shakespeare got a mention!
