Sonnet: To Shakespeare, With Love

O Bard of Avon – Poet Shakespeare! You shook the world by painting with your words; What plays, you wrote enacting them well, dear! The music was echoed by even birds. ‘To be or not to be’, was one question; How well you wrote the play in acts and scenes! Yes, drama, poetry was your prime passion; Your romance spewed forth magic upon teens. Your sonnet-spree allured most poetic minds; The structured style with rhyme sequence was great; Good metre, melody, it always finds; With ease you made them to appeal till date. O Bard of fame, who stood the test of time! You made the world of literature, sublime. Fondly dedicated to the eminent poet-dramatist of England By Dr John Celes, Indian Poet and Sonneteer Copyright by Dr John Celes 22-09-2013
