a poem. simple and rather stupid but i had to write it for my english class and since it's the only thing i've written lately i thought i'd share it. i had to condense Shakespeare's Hamlet into the main events and then write a poem that had rythme and rhyme in it. i had one night to complete it and well, to make a long story short, i didn't do it and had to write the whole thing during the class period's before my english class (i don't suggest you do that. bad idea) 
ok, so here it is, the condensed form of Hamlet.
Long ago,
In the land of Denmark,
A tale of Hamlet
One must hark.
The story begins
With a frightful tale,
Of treachery,
Murder behind the veil.
Hamlet then,
Full of grief,
A ghost,
His father,he does speak.
His father
Doth Hamlet command
To lead
The traitor to the stand.
Hamlet now,
So full of dread,
His mother
Married to an incestuous bed.
Hamlet though
Afraid to act
Decides to
Take another track.
A play
He has a clown perform
To catch
His uncle's guilt and scorn.
Claudius to
The play reacts
But Hamlet
Is still afraid to act.
Hamlet,
His revenge does seek,
But tragedy
In the end doth meet.
Death
Of friends and family,
All met
The end similarly.
Hamlet
In the end does die.
Death
Around him, bodies lie.
Fortinbras
The room does enter
Seeing
Death in its center.
Horatio
To he inquired
Of what
Had then transpired.
Horatio
Of story told
Though
His stance was not so bold.
Fortinbras
Gave Hamlet brave,
A funeral,
Hamlet's honor saved.
Of
The tale, now it ends.
Of
Deeds and honor, glory mends.

the end! isn't that lovely.
