Calling Shakespeare he is

Calling Shakespeare he is
ask him
why he had to create sonnets.
was it because he wanted
guys to pass time
and learn rhyme....

there was no cell
no TV,
no laptop
no iPod! what etc

was only his dictionary
twas the reason?
Just ask him

Shakespeare come alive
what you spoke none dared question,
now the moment we open our mouth,
they ask why?

that's the gift of our Internet
which thank god in your time
they didn't beget

I knew
ababcdcdefef gg and 14 lines
but nothing about iambic hectameter pentameter octra meter etc
so each time i composed
they said good poem only

well counting syllables was a time consuming task
and in the victory only then
Shakespeare did bask
as it was then 450 years ago
a good time pass

now we have little time
so many ways to set time a flame
love and game
on laptop remain
hence within free style
i continue to remain

It is late I will talk tomorrow, but it has been 9 days since this post are you gone into your cave or just resting,
Will see you in the morning,
Yours Ian..

.
There are a million reasons to believe in yourself,
So find more reasons to believe in others..

I went into
hibernation
across the world
unknown to anyone
no laptop
no cell
no connection with the outside world
but now I learn
none misses anyone
when gone for a wee moment
what will or does happen
when we have gone on the path eternal
none is missed
But Ian you are the only one for me who dost exist
hence A MERRY CHRISTMAS
I insist

Have I got a workshop for you. In several weeks Rula and I will run a workshop on the sonnet (the Petrarchan and the Shakespearean). Now, it will be held in The Shark Pool, so it will be a very serious workshop. We'll be talking about not only the classical form of the poem, but also its philosophical aspects through the volta and even a little bit about the other types of sonnets such as Spenserian and Urdu.

We don't expect many takers as it will not be a casual workshop, but you are most surely invited. I will post a blog when we're ready to start.
