In honor of #Shakespareday (the day on which we celebrate #WilliamShakespeare’s birthday) here’s a Shakespearean sonnet I wrote, which placed in the @ncpls2025 #poetry contest a few years ago. The poem has many allusion a to The Bard, in addition to using the Shakespereaan form. #nationalpoetrymonth
My Hour Upon the Stage We strut and fret our hour upon the stage, And most poor players crave a leading role-To be a tragic hero's all the rage, A Hamlet and not a Horatio: A brief candle for an hour brightly burns, Before out, out, it goes, before the fall-And though the audience a lesson learns, Predestined, they cannot their fate forestall. But I am more than a single tragic flaw, Like hubris, ambition, or jealousy— Not bound by ancient, predetermined law, I'm free to choose my own destiny. To this poor player, a different role give, Not fated to die, but fated to live!
