It's one of my life goals to publish an anthology of my own poems. /geek Therefore I thought I'd make a thread to share some of them with you, if you don't mind. (: I try to write a poem a day but more often than not it's just three or four a week. Without further ado, here's my latest one: Hamlet - A Somewhat Amusing Poem (If You're A Shakespeare Geek)
A tale of madness and revenge What a tell to tell The old King, Hamlet Senior's dead In Denmark all's not well
His son is urged to take revenge But here he hesitates Should he do it, should he not? Thus he procrastinates
Eventually the deed is done But alas it is too late To save some other characters For they've taken death's bait
Hamlet is a tragic play Full of sadness, sin and death But my theatre friends all tell me It's not as bad as...you know!

The Nature of Man
Spring Time Babies coo Roots grow Children too Summer Time Children change Flowers bloom Teens estrange Autumn Time Adults emerge Petals wilt Mournful dirge Winter Time Man falls Wind howls Death calls We live our lives as best we can ’Tis our nature The Nature of Man

Murder I saw her before me Huddled on the ground Drenched in blood I heard not the sound Of her breathing Or her tears Was she dead? That was my fear How could I have done this? Why did I feel regret? I couldn’t let My feelings show As I dealt The final blow
