As a way to get back into writing, I am willing to share a personal piece I wrote as a final project for a class - yes,it revolved around Shakespeare. Yes, it was an easy A, but the instructor made it fun. So, as a way to end writers block, and to open my mind to more ideas, here's my poem.

"Twas it not as easy

To love a wounded bird from afar?

'Twas it not easy to sense the

False mirage that scented the room

With rotting trust; oh the trust

In my brotherhood has cornered my mind so abruptly.

'Twas my luck to entrust whom I thought was friend, but as the sun descends,

And darkness ascends; it reveals the behaviors, the more vulgar they are, of the devil himself,

The devil I called friend.

Alas, let thyself rest in forever sleep;

Let death be my final messenger, and carry the wounds and the

Once needed smile to opposite ends of our fate,

For it won't be together."

This is my last piece from my final project for my Shakespeare class. This poem was inspired by Othello, one of the many plays written by Shakespeare during his lifetime. It depicts the final moment between Othello and his wife, Desdemona. Whether this inspires you in some whimsical way, then may it do so as this play was full of enough inspiration to help me write more
