Shakespearean Reflections: A Cycle Of Haiku Comments

This is a wonderful collage of Shakespearean characters and their hamartia! The 'myriad minded' Shakespeare has pictured life in its entirety that he has become a ready reference for anything related to life! Yes, he never stands aloof at a high pedestal..... but companions us! There is no start or end to his world! Hamlet learned in the end that revenge is rough justice...... Polonius, Ophelia and Hamlet suffered their fate because of their muteness.... their inability to act! Of course King Lear's flaw was his dotage on Cordelia and he was possessed by Hamlet's rage and scorn and all these characters succumb to their fate in the end! In a way who can escape the dictates of Fate! Here you have erected up a real monument for Shakespeare through these Haikus! In no time I could flip through the tragedies of Shakespeare! Top marks!

Your this poem along with the note you made says of its own about how thoroughly you are aware about Shakespeare's literary creations. Yes with my very limited knowledge about this great writer I still remember as how I was glued with his writings while reading them. And that itself reveals the truth about his relevance. Thanks for sharing with us.

Enjoy how you reference other poets within your own poetry, it gives a connection to align with. Shakespeare is one of my favorites, totally love his intimacy, it touches me many times with relevance. Shakespeare has experienced and written about life in difficult and joyful times, bringing blessings as we read him. Your poem does him justice, walking along with him through your words and feelings! Love it! Thank you very much for being brave enough to approach him, great one! RoseAnn
