A Midsummer Night's Dream

Hello, I have not had a contest in a while and I thought I would have one. I want you to write a poem about what book you would be and why. I myself would be , "A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare because I am a dreamer and in love with love. It is the most beautiful feeling in the world to feel love and be loved. So go forth and write. I am looking forward to some wonderful poems. Bless You, Sandy

Rules...

1. No chat talk
2. No erotica (sensual is fine)
3. Any form or length

  • great idea my friend, bookmarked.

  • A book?

    You said: `I want you to write a poem about what book you would be and why. I myself would be , "A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare because I am a dreamer and in love with love.`

    With all due respect, may I point out that "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is NOT a book, but a play. I too love this play as it is charming and whimsical and touchingly sad (maybe not as touching as "All's Well That Ends Well"). But both are plays and not books! Indeed, since both are written in verse, they are dramatic poems, in a sense.
