Oh, really?
I thought it was that other fellow,
chap whose name begins with an M,
me thinks, who was old Will's tragedy.
You know, the fellow was supposed to
have been a spy and therefore had to
borrow Will's name to publish his musings...
Cheers,
Aki

Christopher Marlowe. But you do the best Shakespeare...
Comment from frierajac
I had never heard the rumour about a Spring to summer romance before. Thanks though for the reminiscences over the Shakespearean plays from his early work.
They say his Midsummer Night's Dream was innocent and free of understanding
of his later plays. Thank you for posting.

Comment from Ulla
Hahahaha, I love it. Screaming romance it certainly is. I've been to Verona several times when I was very young, standing looking up at the famous balcony. It was a story that appealed to my romantic heart. Wonderful haiku and very cleverly thought out. All the best. Ulla:))

Comment from Ric Myworld
"Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo."
"Right, chere, right chere I is, in the bushes with Rosaline."
Oh, we just never know, where wondering hearts might go.
Or, where and when Andy Griffith might have changed any story to suit his own country characters. It was funny stuff. Great job. :-)

Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
I had a teacher who loves Shakesphere and made us memorize parts of every, yes every, piece he ever did. You nailed this one perfectly

A very well-written haiku about Shakespeare's most tragic tale off Romeo and Juliet that happened on a midsummer's night. Fourteen years are a very young age to die in the name of love.

Twice that age is awful young to be committing suicide at all, Sandra. In fact, suicide is rather sad at ANY age when you get right down to brass tacks.
Thanks for reading...

Comment from Thal1959
Very good, Dean. Nice play on "A Midsummer Night's Dream." You also picked up on something I have considered often, myself. Think of the great romances... David and Bathsheba, Samson and Delilah, Marc Anthony and Cleopatra, Romeo and Juliet. They all end in tragedy. It is almost as if Shakespeare, like most opera's, suggests that the only way for a love to be perfect on earth, is if the two lovers meet, and then die immediately before the realities of life can ruin it.

I know, I find that strange don't you, David?
Thanks for reading my haiku for this weeks challenge.
I appreciate it.

Indeed strange - but it makes me feel good that I stayed a bachelor my whole life.
Comment from Charmisa Parker
I love this, as it is something so simple yet so true. Romeo and Juliet, including a Midsummer Night Dream were two of my favorite stories, as the plays of them were done at my high school, and I love how you changed from dream to scream in reference of the picture. Great work!

Hahaha, I'll probably catch some flak for this as being "unoriginal", Charmisa.
But I'm really glad you enjoyed this and I thank you for your comments and the shiny sixth star.
Enjoy the week ahead, my friend.

Anytime! and if people don't like it simply because it takes away the original message of the story, they need to loosen up. Sometimes change is good and unique.

My youngest son, Steven, is a huge Shakespeare fan. He can't understand Romeo. He says, "I understand being hot for a girl, but dude get a life. You only knew her a few days" LOL I enjoyed reading your poem.
