Literature Text

An outcast.
Born from an illiterate evening of
misspelled passion, his life was to be a true
Comedy of Errors.

Out of his young hands came words…

At night he dreamed
A Midsummer-Night’s Dream,
weaved a pair of star-cross’d lovers.
Words as powerful as Julius Caesar himself.

For the Twelfth Night running
I lie in my second best bed.
I try to recreate a masterpiece.
I breathe in rhyming couplets.
I sleep in a soliloquy.

I-AM-BIC-PENT-A-MET-ER- - -?

He hid a thousand smiles
in every laboured letter that
leaked from his loved pen.
My efforts come to dust.

I rush out into the Tempest
of the night.
Every star is a sonnet to me.
All’s Well That Ends Well…
The timeless labour of the wind
and the universal rain may scream
at others, but to me they whisper:
‘Shakespeare’.
Another potential competition entry, which, as of yet, is completely appalling. This is quite possibly because I (Claire) wrote it in a day and became very frustrated with it. Unfinished and horrid yet I really want to complete it. Please offer suggestions for improvement, particularly along the lines of punctuation. Thank you.
