What Would Shakespeare blog | What Would Shakespeare blog

Normally I'm not prompted much by blog suggestions, but I just read, "What would Shakespeare blog?" That instantly got me to thinking is the question as if Shakespeare were alive now or as if he were blogging on June 8th, 1601?
If he were alive now, would he get so wrapped up in...

O what a rogue House Member Weiner is!
Is it not monstrous that this ‘playa' from New York,
In but his undies, in Fruit of the Looms,
Could force his crotch on the public's eyes,
That, through ‘lectronic means, his nether part exposed,
Whilst donning the guise of victim.
‘A ruse, a hacked account...

Here I am in 16th century England. It is during the time of William "The Bard" Shakespeare. I really think he would poo-poo the very idea as the man simply doesn't have time to sit down and blog. He is too busy between comedies, tragedies and poetry to even open up a journal and write...

Shakespeare would no doubt have a blog in which he would skewer and otherwise insult critics, politicians, actors, and other people “false of heart, light of ear, and bloody of hand.” And he need not write a single new jab. He could string together a list of already crafted gems, for example:

(To Antonio: From Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice)
"Signior Antonio, many a time and oft.." (Is only the beginning).
When I was a young rascal I enjoyed memorizing poems by Robert Frost and Willy Shakespeare.
Recently though, I had a long distance conversation with a poet friend who...

Will Shakespeare gets bitten by the acting bug after he and his little sister, Suzy, see a...

SHAKESPEARE ENVY
When I presume I’ve done my deeds so well,
I look upon your willowed words and tell
myself there’s really no more point in hoping—
I might just as well be sitting here alone,
that’s the hard truth, toasting shadows, moping
for glory in this world before I...

Forsooth, why? My actors are my blog, what platform need I
Save the sounding planks, which I chose, knowing full well
They would amplify my thoughts across the reaches of time
The swells of oceans, the dark glass that will glimmer still
When all that's left of us, will be dust and recollection....

Dear Readers--
I just thought I'd bring you up to speed with my writing life. The big issue these days for me is writing for free. You know, wring out of me all my juicy goodness--put my plays on the Globe's stage--and for what? A mere tuppence. It's enough to drive a bard underground. But hey...

"To blog or not to blog: that is the question." –Not Hamlet, Act III, scene 1
It's time to haul out your iambic pentameter, your "alarums" and "forsooths," and blog this week in the style of the Bard of Avon. Or, write in your own voice but as if you were living in...
