Stratford on Avon the hush pervaded the room almost as if the timbers and framing were in awe of their importance the importance of being the room that once held a great man the window gleamed, fresh washed as the tulips beyond the panes swayed in the spring breezes 'neath an ancient tree riddled with the far off gaze of a poet whose heart was not his own a poet whose heart poured from him in hasty scribbles and etchings near this window (I thought) near these walls upon this very seat sat the man who penned many a sonnet and many a passioned tale and I stood a mere infant of a poet and wondered at my boldness upon entering the sanctum of Shakespeare "Our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything." --William Shakespeare |

I have no critique to give....this was pure and simple, a wonderful homage to the Bard, evoking images of the Globe. Ah laks it. |

AH! I was there also, felt it...not just with my hands but with my soul....it's a lovely house..smaller than I would have expected...and to be there was worth the cost of the trip. Your poem conveys what mere ordinary words cannot. Thank you for taking me back to a day I will always remember.... Anyone want to take a trip there again with me!! Next Spring? |

I'd love to be there - no question... I saw Longfellow's house - that was awesome, but no comparison...  |

Wonderfully descriptive piece of work, X-Angel. Being there must have been quite evoked some powerful feelings, being a fan of Shakespeare, some of which you describe. Excellent word choices and great imagery. Kris the poet's pen...gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name ~ Shakespeare |

Thanks for the replies guys  I have never been there, just wishful thinking and a neat picture I have here near my desk. PdV I would LOVE to go, let's talk! ~X~ "Our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything." --William Shakespeare |
