And even then, wrote one "real" poem - free verse, vivid, but just too too long, so went with sonnet. <br /><br />Oh well - a wonderful prompt. It is impossible to come to an end of the wonderful lines. I realize that what I should have done was Exit Pursued by Bear - but will save for another time. <br /><br />k.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-28660687274239745052012-06-27T19:39:07.802-05:002012-06-27T19:39:07.802-05:00I wanted to use "He jests at scars, that neve...I wanted to use "He jests at scars, that never felt a wound", but it didn't turn out, so I went in an entirely nother direction.Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-6998128855168338862012-06-27T19:15:56.123-05:002012-06-27T19:15:56.123-05:00ohh I like this one Kerry!

One line has cracked me up for ages, though I don't know if I dare put up R&J as a comedy. So my poem is serious, after all, at least from one perspective.<br />BTW: I love the variety of "takes" on the old school that you include in this challenge, Kerry.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-68938257947654631982012-06-27T09:29:19.008-05:002012-06-27T09:29:19.008-05:00An interesting prompt, Kerry--thanks for including...An interesting prompt, Kerry--thanks for including the link so I don;t have to get out my old Shakespeare and sift it--you are spot on with how many of his marvelous phrases have become common parlance--I always find that the first five minutes of one of his plays are difficult, but that after that it all gels and starts making perfect sense. My brain has been on the dry side lately, but I'll put some Shakespearean butter on it and hope for the best.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-90745355265951417232012-06-27T09:21:07.431-05:002012-06-27T09:21:07.431-05:00Another very good prompt Kerry.
