I wonder about magic you knew,
were your lines a red mutiny?
To lead against meanings, all,
embedded in history's lexicon!
I wonder about magic you knew,
were your lines appalling me?
To falsify all written truths,
breeding over sixty thoughts!
I wonder about magic you knew,
were your lines devoted prayers?
To crown entire ministry for,
holiness of their noble acts!
I wonder about magic you knew,
were your lines heaven's words?
To talk a bit, with we people,
who have forgotten to speak!
I wonder about magic you knew,
were your lines reminding wind?
To be awaken from it's slumber,
offering warm welcome to Autumn!
I wonder about magic you knew,
were your lines solidified lava?
To be soil for some and melt,
for who never learned to walk!
Author notes
In the first stanza, it is thought as if Shakespeare words were an appealing mutiny, to bury all those evils and disastrous customs prevailing in the world, "that day"
In the second stanza, it is thought a if Shakespeare words were prayers and heavenly words to make people of the world realize about the wrong domination of the nobles and the kings and the rulers and also as convincing people to learn to speak up!
Last but not the least, Shakespeare words are thought to be as natural elements like wind and lave. Shakespeare is considered to be reminding the wind to blow to welcome the Autumn, which shall take away all the blackened elements from life and give a way to upcoming spring. They are also thought to be solidified lava which serves as a land for those who learned to walk with 'today' and still molten lave for those who didn't.
In a list
Did you see where the first stanza was, second is and where the third is going?

Completely awesome I loved this

I had to read this poem rather slowly to understand the grammar which I feel is a bit convoluted. Great choice of words and I also think flow works rather well. However, sentence structurte seems a bit dated. Anyhow, an excellently crafted piece.

You need to adapt a bit to the new style of poetry, instead of using the "west wind" format.
"To be awaken from it's slumber"
And every line need not have the same length. Just keep the poem having a good flow. Nevertheless, an effective portrayal...so I give this poem a "yes".
Congratulations!

This is very interesting. I liked this poem, I think mainly, because it is very different than other poems I've read lately. I especially liked your analysis of each stanza, it was helpful seeing as I probably would not have made all of the connections. Well done!

FANTASTIC
The master of literature you attempt to Enshrine,
Making known the deceit and eternal love lost in the whisks of time like a twine.
The globe was his stage,
Glorify you did the chivalry of the mage.
Full of rage & plight were his icy ways,
Emotion in his lines forever stays.
Datum flow in you lies stagnant,
Risen your intellect with this poem which leaves me with but one word:magnificent.

I ven donna know the most little about him...actually I was surfing over the net and this picture came in front of me...and god knows what Shakespeare told me to write about him...to be frank I rarely write any such kind of work...
Anyways, thanks for ya words and applause!

Hrm... nice work! Shakespeare is probably one of my favorite playwriters (not poets, though) and I enjoy reading his work. Right now I'm reading Twelth Night which is quite excellent, if I do say so. Always nice to read a poem about him and I liked that you explained your poem in your author's notes as well which then made me go back and reread it. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

Hi Dhruv. An interesting thought provoking piece. I like the repetition of "I wonder about magic you knew". It fits well as a beginning of each of your stanza to discuss the character of this writing, the poetry of his thoughts and the message to those who read his writings. A much enjoyed read. Shelley

Thanks a lot Shelley! The repeatation of line, according to me makes an impression that the narrator isn't himself sure but is making guesses about William's magic...thanks once again!

You're very welcome Dhruv. Take care. Shelley

Very good
Pole Star, for once I am lost for words. I really did not understand the body of the poem itself. It's not often that I say that.
I am a big fan of Shakespeare and always have been. He had an intelligence far beyond his time and his works were, and always will be, unsurpassable. He was an excellent writer and will always be an inspiration to the poet in me. Indeed, it is a shame that people do not "speak" as they used to back in Shakespeare's time. That speech seems to be long lost and forgotten. Such a shame. But you have commemorated Shakespeare's memory excellently here in this piece.

I particularly love reading poetry about poets, Dhruv, and yours is no exception. You have captured so much of what a reader feels when reading Shakespeare, just what is the "magic" in his poetry of words.
Excellent writing, Dhruv!

This is a very interestinig poem about Shakespeare. I really liked stanza 2 the best:
I wonder about magic you knew,
were your lines heaven's words?
To talk a bit, with we people,
who have forgotten to speak!
Ah, we have forgotten how to speak this way, with more then one meaning behind our words and acts.
Very well done, Pole Star.
