I want to write a sonnet so I will.
I’ll write it just like Shakespeare but the subject
Will be a little different I fear .
I’ll bear my soul and make my feelings public.

And whomever authored Shakespeare—he felt too.
If only propaganda for The Crown.
A man must feel so deeply to pursue
Such matters of the heart, however frowned

Upon they might have been to those in charge.
But don’t mistake Bill Shakespeare for Romantic.
His Romance was in tragedy writ large.
If in the end Midsummer is dramatic.

Hermia and Helena got their way
In the end in that fair forest where faeries lay.
