Haha I have been very tempted all weekend and today I gave into temptation.

Indeed the verses are great. Love Shakespeare. He pinned such human behavior to the "T"

I was never into poems and poets myself. I always preferred stories. But yes, reading these makes me realize what I have missed. maybe I should find a poetry book next time I am free.
Recommendations?

And Shakespeare did get human behavior down to the "T" as you said. Even his plays/stories depict them beautifully.

This particular piece is from his play - all's well that ends well.

Poets hm...Tennyson is good, Robert frost, Percy Bryce Shelley, Shakespeare himself of course. I am sure i am missing some really good poets.

I'm also not too much into poetry. But from whatever I learnt in school and college, I liked all 3 Williams though (Shakespeare, Blake and Wordsworth). I liked Wordsworth's Daffodils.

But my all time fav is Leisure by WH Davies 😃. I even remember parts of it:

What is this life full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stare when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to stare in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars like skies at night.

What is this life full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

So true isn't it?

Don't know what grade you are BUT I learned Shakespeare in high school (grade 9-12) and I found it easy. People have found sparknotes helpful but I don't recommend it. Its analysis is very superficial! IF you are a reader than read the play, and if you are like me then watch the movie twice. I have only read A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo & Juliet, MacBeth, and Hamlet. IF you need help for the last three let me know because I just did them (I'm in 2nd-year uni, so its been only 2-3 years since I did them). I have read a lot of his sonnets and they are relatively simple compared to the plays.
Honestly, Shakespeare is an overrated writer! I feel its us who overanalysis his writing. Romeo and Juliet is the stupidest love story I have EVER READ, SEEN (forced to watch the play for a field trip), OR WATCHED.
