Messenger

Messenger

Inappropriate representation..
across the nation..
where do you begin,
in Shakespears
era, it was common place,
for boys to depict girls,
and maidens men..
His works lay thick with
innuendo and gender tricks,
poor Rosencranz and
Guildenstern..had no
chance to learn..
falling foul of trust
in the postal hustle..
of that term
Alas theres something
rotting in the state of the World..

Sands of time, like Tides
wait for no man..
King Canute thought
he could hold back
the Trent...
Maybe that was
inappropriate representation..
a Norse King..
Denmark yet again...

QUESTIONS NEED ANSWERING. " IT " IS THE NATURE AND NURTURE OF US. Know, what matters, when, " IT " arrives at your door. PROBABLY, COMING FROM " THE POSTMAN "  PAT. :) :)
Understand " that " then. Or, later, if, you care, to do so.
FEEL, WHAT GIVES TO YOU. And, what takes, to the soil, to produce " The Harvest " of Bountiful Yield, LIKE NO OTHER.  :) :)
Any questions, now, after " that " ? Put, them, on a POSTCARD FROM " THE EDGE " and, send them to someone else.....PLEASE. You, know, I, am busy ? ? ?  :) :) Right ?
Do you want a future ? Like " that " hinted at ? I, suggest, you do. Surely ?  :) X

I found your reply so interesting, although I didn't understand it all, it's pretty intriguing. :)

What an interesting poem full of intrigue. 

I studied King Author quite a lot in college. One of my favorite stories was: Rosencranz and Guildenstern are Dead, a truly one of a kind story that is rich with language and extremely humorous! 

I'm sure the underlining meaning of the poem has something to do with leadership and stature (am I right?) 

Good work, I'll be sure to return to read more of your work this weekend. 

Thanks for sharing such a well written poem.

Richard Waters comment is a poem in itself, I actually was inspired by an African/ American beautiful young girl performing Irish Dancing and smashing it..just shows that 600 years ago..inappropriate representation was the norm....
