My poem in response to The Daily prompt: Ghostwriter
If you could have any author –living or dead – write your biography, who would you choose?
~~~
For e-book of my life-story
I invoked, the one and only
legendary Sir Shakespeare.
He looked at me to assess
then refused my request.
Thus he spoke and justified
Brown Lady!! I do love personae
with some tragic flaw, but
dost not thou have too many?
I looked up at him and appealed.
Life’s been a comedy of errors
dost it not appeal you, Sir?
The Bard let out a hearty laugh
looked fondly, but lo and behold
he vanished without a response.
Bewildered I was but my guess
the idea of e-book daunted him
for he had no internet access.
~~
Why Brown Lady? That’s because Shakespeare had never seen an Indian woman before.
But Sheakespeare had his mysterious Dark Lady as mentioned in his Dark Lady Sonnets
