Admiring William~

*long lost years

our master, Shakespeare

traveled to London for four days

no shillings or good garments in his bag

 

he stayed in lodge inns

penny a night

he had to gave up with a sigh

 

the smell of midden-heaped lanes

from the slum tenements

he had to bare for nights

 

he held both jobs

holding patron's horses

or prompter's attendant

 

and as destined to be a playwright,

his plays express aspects of life that transcend time

he wrote to be remarkable

and to put food on the table

 

illuminating human experience

a genius mind...

 

a playwright, poet and actor

that we will always admire.*

Notes

Although no one's sure if he's with an entourage or striking out alone on foot going to London :D His life is shrouded in a mystery or he wasn't that revealing about his personal life, but he was the greatest writer of all time! I really admire him and wish to make some good literary creations too :( haha
