Lockdown Poem IX |01 July 2020

Dreams-upon-Avon

What would The Bard of Avon

pen during lockdown

‘To be, or not to be, that is the question’

‘Now is the winter of our discontent’

‘What light through yonder window breaks’

‘Nothing will come of nothing’

‘We are such stuff as dreams are made on…’

‘All the world’s a stage…’

Birthday wishes for The Bard

on World Book and Copyright Day

Time-travelling along the

banks of the River Avon;

On narrow boats amidst the swans–

Encounters with Ophelia, Clarence,

Mercutio, Cordelia,

Prospero, Rosalind

Time is the jester.

And with each creatively-inspired

moment

Celebrate the wit of

The Bard

in cyber recitals

and enactments.
