Love Poem: Shakespeare
Paula Goldsmith Avatar
Written by: Paula Goldsmith

Shakespeare

As a mere child of eighteen years,
I married my love Anne.
An older lady,
she was twenty-six years of age.
I love to write,
collaborations~plays~sonnets and of course poems.
As I awake to a new day,
what do I find.
I am in a world I do not know,
everything has changed.
They say I am England's national poet,
how could that be true.
Many new inventions,
oh~my head is spinning.
I learn my pen and ink are out of style,
a thing they call a computer is what writers now use.
I will never learn this computer machine,
I want my pen and ink back.
I want back to my simple life,
oil lamps~pen~ink and paper please.
