The World's a Stage

Upon the internet
The image we create
's controlled. We only let
The best, in what we state.

So I'm the kind of guy
Who cares about the earth
In poetry, I try
To state how much it's worth.

But how much can you tell
Is what I've stated true?
As clear as any bell
It chimes across to you.

And then I choose a face
Which makes me seem the best
A poet of some grace
I hope you'll be impressed.

So when you ask how well
I know you, from your page
I say, I cannot tell
The truth. The world's a stage.

      Well, I have read your comments and I just wanted you to know that I am not putting either of these poems down. I have said they are both wonderful and well thought out, but I have to judge the contest by the contest rules. If it did not have rules, it would not be a contest.

      And, by the way, I am not trolling for reads. I am trolling for contest entries. Just wanted to clear that up, but thank you for your comments. It does make me re-think how I host another contest. I was not trying to come off as anything superficial, I just wanted a creative contest. I honestly thought this would be creative. And most of the entries were creative. This one in particular. When I made the comment before, I had not finished judging the contest. I was coming back to read again, which is why I saw your comments.

      I am sorry this does not please you, but I still have to judge according to the rules.

    I like your twist on the phrase "the world's a stage". I like your poem too.

    Thank you for entering my contest!

    I won't start off by judging your style of poetry since I said anything goes. The words you have chosen are somewhat true. How much does a person know about someone's profile page? Only what we allow others to see, I suppose.

    I was hoping to get a little closer on who I appear to be in my profile page for this particular contest, but this is good. It makes me sit and ponder a bit.


    Good Luck!
